Test Details
William’s syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the deletion of a small piece of chromosome 7. This deletion is typically detected using a technique called karyotyping, which involves examining the chromosomes of an individual to look for abnormalities.
In karyotyping, cells are collected from the individual, usually through a blood sample. These cells are then cultured in a laboratory and treated with a chemical that stops cell division at a specific stage. This allows the chromosomes to be visualized and analyzed under a microscope. The chromosomes are stained to highlight the banding patterns, which can help identify any structural abnormalities. In the case of William’s syndrome, a deletion in the region of chromosome 7 can be observed.
To confirm the diagnosis of William’s syndrome and determine the exact location of the deletion, another technique called fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) is often used. FISH involves using fluorescent probes that bind to specific DNA sequences. In the case of William’s syndrome, probes that bind to the region of chromosome 7 that is deleted are used. The probes are labeled with fluorescent molecules, and when they bind to the target DNA sequence, they emit a fluorescent signal. This allows the specific location of the deletion to be visualized under a microscope.
Karyotyping and FISH are important tools in diagnosing William’s syndrome and determining the exact genetic cause of the disorder. These techniques can also be used to identify other chromosomal abnormalities and genetic disorders.
