DiGeorge Syndrome Karyotyping FISH
Introduction to DiGeorge Syndrome Karyotyping FISH
The DiGeorge Syndrome Karyotyping FISH test is a specialized genetic diagnostic tool that plays a crucial role in identifying DiGeorge Syndrome, a genetic disorder caused by a deletion on chromosome 22. This syndrome can lead to a range of health issues, including heart defects, immune system problems, and developmental delays. Early diagnosis through this test is essential for effective management and intervention.
What the Test Measures
This test utilizes advanced methodologies, including Cell Culture and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH), to detect chromosomal abnormalities associated with DiGeorge Syndrome. It measures the presence or absence of the 22q11.2 deletion, which is indicative of the syndrome.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals who may benefit from the DiGeorge Syndrome Karyotyping FISH test include:
- Those with a family history of genetic disorders.
- Individuals presenting symptoms such as congenital heart defects, hypoparathyroidism, or immune deficiencies.
- Patients undergoing genetic counseling or prenatal testing.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the DiGeorge Syndrome Karyotyping FISH test offers several advantages:
- Early detection of genetic disorders, which can lead to timely medical intervention.
- Accurate diagnosis, allowing for better management of associated health issues.
- Informed family planning and genetic counseling based on test results.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the DiGeorge Syndrome Karyotyping FISH test are typically available within 10-12 days. A positive result indicates the presence of the 22q11.2 deletion, confirming a diagnosis of DiGeorge Syndrome. Negative results suggest no detectable deletion, but further testing may be recommended based on clinical findings.
