Test Overview & Methodology
The DiGeorge Syndrome (FISH) test detects microdeletions on chromosome 22q11.2 using fluorescence in-situ hybridization, confirming the genetic cause of velocardiofacial syndrome and related disorders with high specificity and rapid turnaround. This advanced genetic assay precisely identifies the classic 22q11.2 deletion, enabling early cardiac and immunological interventions.

| Price | 700 AED | Typically 1200โ2500 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh (Consultant Medical Genetics โ DHA Registration ID: 9294403) notes: โDiGeorge Syndrome presents with varying severity; this FISH test precisely identifies the classic 22q11.2 deletion, allowing early cardiac and immunological interventions. Results must always be correlated with clinical findings and family history.โ
Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Any clinical decisions based on test results should be made in conjunction with your treating physician.
Patient Safety Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Exclusion: Invasive prenatal sampling (amniocentesis/CVS) requires informed consent and ultrasound guidance; do not attempt home collection for amniotic fluid. Hospital extraction only for these specimen types.
- Exclusion: Patients on anticoagulant therapy require physician clearance before blood draw.
- ER Red Flags: If the patient experiences severe bleeding, syncope, or signs of infection post-collection, seek immediate emergency care.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How accurate is the DiGeorge FISH test for confirming the syndrome?
With 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity, our FISH test accurately detects the 22q11.2 microdeletion responsible for DiGeorge Syndrome, providing definitive genetic confirmation. Results should be interpreted alongside clinical evaluation and family history.
2. What sample type is required for this test?
Peripheral blood is the primary specimen and can be collected at home via our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service. Prenatal specimens (amniotic fluid, chorionic villi) require hospital extraction only. A doctorโs prescription is mandatory for all sample types.
3. How long does it take to get results?
The turnaround time is 1 week (7 business days) from sample receipt at the laboratory. Telephonic post-test clinical guidance is provided by a DHA-licensed Consultant Medical Geneticist to help interpret your results.
4. Is home collection available for this genetic test?
Yes, for peripheral blood specimens our ISO-certified cold-chain home phlebotomy service is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM. Prenatal samples must be collected in a hospital setting under ultrasound guidance.
