FISH – MICRODELETION DETECTION FOR WILLIAMS SYNDROME Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the FISH – MICRODELETION DETECTION FOR WILLIAMS SYNDROME test for individuals suspected to have Williams syndrome. This genetic disorder is caused by a microdeletion on chromosome 7, and our test can accurately detect the presence of this abnormality.
Test Details
The FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) microdeletion detection test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of Williams syndrome. It involves the use of fluorescently labeled DNA probes that specifically bind to the affected region on chromosome 7. These probes emit a fluorescent signal when they bind to the target region, allowing for the detection and visualization of the microdeletion.
During the test, a small sample of cells is collected, typically through a blood sample. The cells are processed in our laboratory, and the DNA is denatured to allow the probes to bind to the target region. The fluorescent signal is then detected using a specialized microscope, and the presence or absence of the microdeletion is determined.
Test Cost and Components
The cost of the FISH – MICRODELETION DETECTION FOR WILLIAMS SYNDROME test is AED 1510.0. The test requires a sample condition of 5 mL (3 mL min.) of whole blood from 1 Green Top (Sodium Heparin) tube. The sample should be shipped at 18-22°C and should not be frozen. It is mandatory to fill out the Chromosome & FISH analysis Requisition Form (Form 17).
Report Delivery
The sample is collected daily by 4 pm, and the report is delivered within 4 working days.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the FISH – MICRODELETION DETECTION FOR WILLIAMS SYNDROME test, it is mandatory to fill out the Chromosome & FISH analysis Requisition Form (Form 17).
Benefits of Early Detection
Early detection of Williams syndrome through this test can help in providing appropriate medical management and support for individuals with the condition. It allows for timely intervention and personalized treatment plans to improve the quality of life for those affected.
Conclusion
The FISH – MICRODELETION DETECTION FOR WILLIAMS SYNDROME test offered by DNA Labs UAE is a reliable and accurate method for diagnosing this genetic disorder. It can confirm a clinical suspicion of Williams syndrome based on the individual’s symptoms and physical characteristics. If you suspect Williams syndrome or need more information about this test, consult with a pediatrician or contact our CYTOGENETICS department.

| Test Details |
The FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) microdeletion detection test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of a specific genetic abnormality called Williams syndrome. Williams syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a microdeletion of genetic material on chromosome 7. The FISH test involves the use of fluorescently labeled DNA probes that specifically bind to the region of chromosome 7 that is affected by the microdeletion in Williams syndrome. These probes emit a fluorescent signal when they bind to the target region, allowing for the detection and visualization of the microdeletion. During the test, a small sample of cells, typically obtained through a blood sample, is collected from the individual being tested. The cells are then processed in the laboratory, and the DNA is denatured to allow the probes to bind to the target region. The fluorescent signal is then detected using a specialized microscope, and the presence or absence of the microdeletion is determined. The FISH microdeletion detection test for Williams syndrome is a reliable and accurate method for diagnosing this genetic disorder. It can be used to confirm a clinical suspicion of Williams syndrome based on the individual’s symptoms and physical characteristics. Early detection of Williams syndrome through this test can help in providing appropriate medical management and support for individuals with the condition. |
