The Hereditary Elliptocytosis Gene Panel by NGS analyzes key genes responsible for hereditary elliptocytosis, a red blood cell membrane disorder leading to elliptically shaped RBCs and varying degrees of hemolysis. Using an EDTA blood sample, this test identifies mutations that affect membrane integrity and cytoskeletal stability. Metropolis Healthcare employs advanced next-generation sequencing to ensure precise detection of clinically relevant variants. The results support accurate diagnosis, family screening, and individualized patient management.
