Find Clarity and Peace of Mind with Prader-Willi Syndrome Testing
When you’re concerned about genetic conditions that could affect your child’s development and quality of life, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our Prader-Willi Syndrome FISH test provides the definitive answers South African families need to move forward with confidence and appropriate care planning.
Understanding the Prader-Willi Syndrome FISH Test
The Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) test is a specialised genetic analysis that examines chromosomes for specific abnormalities associated with Prader-Willi Syndrome. This advanced technique provides clear, accurate detection of the chromosomal deletion on chromosome 15 that causes this condition, giving you reliable results you can trust for making important health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important for:
- Newborns showing poor muscle tone (hypotonia) and feeding difficulties
- Infants with developmental delays and failure to thrive
- Children displaying excessive appetite and rapid weight gain
- Individuals with suspected genetic conditions affecting growth and development
- Families with history of Prader-Willi Syndrome seeking genetic confirmation
Early detection through our FISH test can guide appropriate interventions and support services.
