Understanding Di-George Syndrome: Your Path to Genetic Clarity
When you’re concerned about your child’s development or facing unexplained health challenges, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Di-George Syndrome testing provides the answers you need to make informed healthcare decisions for your family. Our advanced Karyotyping + FISH technology offers the precision and reliability that South African families deserve.
What Our Di-George Syndrome Test Detects
This comprehensive genetic test examines chromosome 22 for specific deletions that cause Di-George Syndrome. Using both Karyotyping (chromosome analysis) and FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) technologies, we provide a complete picture of your genetic health. Karyotyping gives us the broad chromosomal overview, while FISH provides targeted analysis of the critical 22q11.2 region.
This dual-approach testing ensures maximum accuracy and reliability, giving you confidence in your results. The test is performed on a simple blood sample, making it accessible for patients of all ages across South Africa.
Who Should Consider Di-George Syndrome Testing?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained developmental delays in infancy or childhood
- Congenital heart defects, especially involving the heart’s outflow tracts
- Recurrent infections or immune system concerns
- Cleft palate or feeding difficulties in newborns
- Calcium level abnormalities or seizures
- Facial features associated with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome
- Family history of genetic conditions or multiple miscarriages
Early detection through our testing can significantly improve health outcomes and guide appropriate medical care.
