Understanding Your Child’s Unique Genetic Journey
When you notice developmental differences in your child, it’s natural to feel concerned and seek answers. Our Williams-Beuren Syndrome Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and understanding you need to support your child’s health journey with confidence and compassion.
What This Test Reveals About Your Child’s Health
This advanced genetic test examines the 7q11.23 region of chromosome 7, where Williams-Beuren syndrome originates. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we can detect the specific genetic changes that cause this condition, giving you definitive answers about your child’s health status.
Williams-Beuren syndrome affects approximately 1 in 7,500 to 20,000 people and involves the deletion of about 26-28 genes from chromosome 7. Understanding this genetic profile helps explain the unique combination of characteristics your child may experience.
Is This Test Right for Your Child?
Consider this test if your child shows:
- Distinctive facial features (broad forehead, short nose, full cheeks)
- Developmental delays in speech and motor skills
- Cardiovascular concerns, particularly supravalvular aortic stenosis
- Unusually social and friendly personality
- Feeding difficulties in infancy
- Growth delays or short stature
- Learning difficulties despite strong verbal abilities
- Hypercalcemia (high calcium levels)
Early diagnosis can help you access the right support services and interventions for your child’s specific needs.

- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty and get clear answers
- Personalised Care: Access targeted therapies and interventions
- Medical Management: Monitor and manage heart conditions proactively
