Test Overview & Methodology
The Williams Syndrome (Karyotyping + FISH) test simultaneously detects the 7q11.23 microdeletion using high-resolution G-banding karyotyping and targeted FISH probes. This dual-method approach delivers confirmatory evidence of the hallmark deletion responsible for elastin arteriopathy and neurodevelopmental features, ensuring no false negatives. The test is conducted under ISO 9001:2015 certified protocols at DNA Labs UAE.
| Feature | Our Test: Karyotyping + FISH | Closest Alternative: Chromosomal Microarray (CMA) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Targeted detection of 7q11.23 deletion with >99% sensitivity | Detects submicroscopic copy number variants genome-wide, but may miss balanced rearrangements |
| Methodology | G-banding Karyotype + FISH with locus-specific ELN probe; ISO 9001:2015 certified | Oligonucleotide-based array CGH or SNP array |
| Turnaround Speed | 7–10 days | 10–14 days typically, longer if confirmatory FISH required |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Geneticist, I understand the emotional weight of a Williams syndrome diagnostic journey. This combined karyotype and FISH test offers definitive confirmation of the 7q11.23 deletion. However, it must always be correlated with clinical features, especially echocardiography and calcium levels. Your treating physician will guide you through the integrated care plan.”

⚠ Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication (e.g., antihypertensives, cardiac drugs) without consulting your doctor. Genetic testing does not replace ongoing clinical care.
Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Severe thrombocytopenia or bleeding diathesis – risk of hematoma.
- Acute systemic infection; postpone until resolved.
- If patient exhibits signs of acute heart failure, immediate cardiology evaluation prior to elective blood draw.
- For minors, legal guardian consent mandatory per Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How accurate is the Karyotyping+FISH test for Williams syndrome, and why might a doctor order it in the UAE?
Snippet Answer: The combined karyotype and FISH test achieves 99.9% diagnostic accuracy for the classic 7q11.23 deletion, meeting DHA requirements for definitive Williams syndrome confirmation. Physicians order this when clinical signs—supravalvular aortic stenosis, elfin facies, hypercalcemia—suggest the condition, or for prenatal screening in high-risk families.
2. What is the home collection process, and can my insurance cover the 1100 AED cost?
Snippet Answer: A certified phlebotomist arrives at your location in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Sharjah within 60 minutes in a temperature-controlled vehicle; the sample is transported under cold-chain ISO protocol to our accredited lab. Insurance coverage is confirmed via WhatsApp at +971545488731—most major UAE insurers reimburse genetic testing when medically indicated.
3. When will I receive the results, and how do I interpret them with my doctor?
Snippet Answer: The report is delivered in 7–10 days via secure patient portal, detailing whether a heterozygous deletion at 7q11.23 was identified; a positive result confirms Williams syndrome, while a negative result may require further microarray analysis. A complimentary teleconsultation with a clinical geneticist is included to explain findings and coordinate referral to a pediatric cardiologist.
