Test Details
FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) is a genetic test used to detect chromosomal abnormalities, such as the 22q deletion associated with DiGeorge syndrome or VCFS (Velocardiofacial syndrome). The 22q deletion or LSI DiGeorge/VCFS test specifically looks for a deletion on the long arm of chromosome 22, which is associated with these conditions.
This test is typically performed using FISH technology, where specific DNA probes are labeled with fluorescent dyes and used to identify the presence or absence of certain genetic material. The 22q deletion is linked to various physical and developmental abnormalities, including heart defects, cleft palate, immune system problems, learning disabilities, and psychiatric disorders.
The LSI DiGeorge/VCFS test can help diagnose these conditions and provide valuable information for medical management and genetic counseling. It’s important to note that FISH testing is just one of the diagnostic tools available for detecting chromosomal abnormalities, and a healthcare professional will determine the most appropriate test based on an individual’s specific symptoms and medical history.
