Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a variety of symptoms, including reduced muscle tone, feeding difficulties in early infancy, rapid weight gain and obesity in later childhood, developmental delays, and behavioral problems. It is caused by the loss of function of genes in a specific region of chromosome 15 (15q11-q13). To diagnose PWS, genetic testing is crucial, and among the methods used, karyotyping and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) are prominent.

Karyotyping is a test that allows scientists to examine the chromosomal makeup of an individual by looking at the size, shape, and number of chromosomes. It’s useful in identifying large-scale genetic abnormalities, including the presence or absence of chromosomes that can lead to syndromes like PWS.

FISH test, on the other hand, is more precise and can pinpoint deletions or rearrangements in specific chromosome regions. For PWS, the FISH test targets the critical region on chromosome 15 to check for the specific deletion responsible for the syndrome. It uses fluorescent probes that bind to that region of the chromosome, allowing for the visualization of any genetic anomalies under a fluorescence microscope.

In the UAE, DNA Labs offers comprehensive genetic testing for Prader-Willi Syndrome, including both karyotyping and FISH tests. The cost for this combined testing is set at 1650 AED. Conducted in a state-of-the-art laboratory by skilled geneticists and technicians, these tests provide accurate diagnosis and are crucial for the management and treatment planning for individuals with PWS. Early diagnosis through these genetic tests can significantly impact the quality of life for those affected by the syndrome, offering them a chance for timely interventions and support.

Test Details

Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by the loss of function of specific genes on chromosome 15. It is typically diagnosed through a combination of karyotyping and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques.

Karyotyping is a laboratory technique that involves examining an individual’s chromosomes under a microscope. It allows for the visualization of the size, shape, and number of chromosomes in a person’s cells. In the case of PWS, karyotyping can help identify any abnormalities in chromosome 15, such as deletions or translocations.

FISH is a molecular cytogenetic technique that uses fluorescent probes to bind to specific regions of DNA. In the case of PWS, FISH can be used to specifically detect the absence or deletion of the critical genes on chromosome 15. This technique involves labeling the DNA probes with fluorescent dyes, which can then be visualized under a fluorescent microscope. The absence or deletion of the specific genes on chromosome 15 can be detected by the absence or reduction of the fluorescent signal.

By combining the results of karyotyping and FISH, healthcare professionals can confirm a diagnosis of Prader-Willi Syndrome. It is important to note that these techniques are typically performed on a blood sample or other tissue samples, and they are not invasive or harmful to the individual being tested.

In addition to karyotyping and FISH, other genetic testing methods, such as DNA methylation analysis or array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), may also be used to diagnose PWS and determine the specific genetic abnormalities present. These tests can provide further information about the specific genetic changes involved in the syndrome.
