FISH 22q Deletion or LSI Di George VCFS Test
Introduction
The FISH 22q Deletion or LSI Di George VCFS Test is a specialized genetic test that plays a pivotal role in diagnosing conditions associated with the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, also known as DiGeorge syndrome or Velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS). This test utilizes Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technology to detect chromosomal abnormalities that can lead to a variety of health issues.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the presence or absence of the 22q11.2 deletion, which is linked to several genetic disorders. By analyzing the genetic material in a patient’s blood sample, the test can identify chromosomal alterations that contribute to developmental delays, heart defects, and other associated health problems.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals who may benefit from the FISH 22q Deletion test include:
- Patients showing symptoms such as congenital heart defects, cleft palate, or immune deficiencies.
- Individuals with a family history of genetic disorders.
- Children with developmental delays or learning disabilities.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the FISH 22q Deletion test offers several advantages:
- Early diagnosis of genetic disorders, leading to timely medical intervention.
- Informed family planning and genetic counseling.
- Better management of associated health conditions through targeted therapies.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the FISH 22q Deletion test typically take about 4 working days to process. A negative result indicates no deletion, while a positive result confirms the presence of the 22q11.2 deletion. It is essential to discuss the results with a healthcare provider for proper interpretation and guidance on subsequent steps.
