Understanding Williams Syndrome Genetic Testing
When you notice developmental delays, unique facial features, or heart concerns in your child, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our Williams Syndrome genetic testing provides the clarity and answers families need during these challenging times. This comprehensive analysis combines two powerful techniques – Karyotyping and FISH – to deliver the most accurate results possible.
What This Test Detects
Williams Syndrome is caused by a specific deletion on chromosome 7. Our advanced testing methodically examines your child’s chromosomes to identify this crucial genetic information:
- Karyotyping provides a complete picture of all chromosomes
- FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) specifically targets the Williams Syndrome region
- Together, they offer comprehensive chromosomal analysis with exceptional accuracy
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if your child shows any of these signs:
- Developmental delays in speech or motor skills
- Distinctive facial features (elfin appearance)
- Cardiovascular concerns, especially supravalvular aortic stenosis
- Hypercalcemia (elevated calcium levels)
- Extreme friendliness and social personality
- Family history of genetic disorders
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family
Getting a definitive diagnosis brings multiple benefits that can transform your child’s health journey:
- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty and move forward with confidence
- Early Intervention: Access appropriate therapies and support sooner
- Medical Management: Address heart concerns and other health issues proactively
- Educational Planning: Create tailored learning strategies for your child
- Family Planning: Understand genetic implications for future children
