How much does it cost to check the full set of thalassemia genes?

Patient's question:

How much does it cost to check the full set of thalassemia genes... Is there a good way? Can it be cured? Please give some advice.

Doctor's answer:

G6PD screening: It costs around tens of yuan, and this test can only determine if there is G6PD deficiency.
G6PD gene detection: The full α+β test costs about 500-600 yuan (the fee varies depending on the hospital). This test can identify the specific type, which is equivalent to a definitive diagnosis.
If you suspect G6PD deficiency, I recommend starting with a G6PD screening test. There's no need to waste hundreds of extra yuan.
I suggest you go to a formal hospital for testing and treatment.
