The Williams Syndrome Karyotyping FISH test is a specialized genetic test designed to detect Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by developmental delays, cardiovascular issues, and distinctive facial features. This test is crucial for early diagnosis and intervention, which can significantly improve the quality of life for affected individuals.
What the Test Measures
This test utilizes Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) combined with karyotyping to identify chromosomal abnormalities associated with Williams syndrome. It specifically looks for deletions on chromosome 7, which are indicative of the disorder.

Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early diagnosis allows for timely interventions and support.
- Provides clarity for families regarding developmental concerns.
- Helps in planning for medical and educational needs.
- Offers peace of mind through accurate genetic information.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Williams Syndrome Karyotyping FISH test typically take 7-10 days. A positive result indicates the presence of chromosomal deletions associated with Williams syndrome, while a negative result suggests no abnormalities were detected. It is essential to discuss your results with a healthcare professional who can provide guidance on the next steps.
