About this service

An advanced genetic test using Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) to evaluate the subtelomeric region of chromosome 13q. It identifies copy-number abnormalities, aiding in the diagnosis of specific genetic conditions.

Importance of 13q FISH Test

Detects deletions or duplications in the subtelomeric region of chromosome 13q.
Assists in identifying genetic causes of developmental delays or congenital anomalies.
Provides precise data for genetic counselors to assess familial risks.

How the Procedure Works

A standard venous blood sample is collected from the patient.
Fluorescent probes are used to bind specifically to the 13q target region.
A geneticist examines the cells using a specialized fluorescence microscope.

Result Interpretation

A normal result indicates two copies of the 13q region are present.
An abnormal result suggests copy-number variations (deletion or duplication).
Results must always be reviewed by a specialist in clinical genetics.

What is included?

✓Blood sample collection
✓Targeted FISH assay
✓Detailed genetic result report

Conditions and notices

Fasting is not required
Family medical history preferred
Requires informed medical consent

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to the FAQs published with this service.

• What is the FISH 13q subtelomeric test?

It is a precise genetic assay using fluorescence to detect deletions or duplications at the end of chromosome 13.

• Why is this specific test ordered?

It is typically ordered for unexplained developmental delays or congenital anomalies to find genetic causes missed by standard tests.

• Does this test require fasting?

No, fasting is not required for the FISH analysis; the blood sample can be taken at any time.

• What type of sample is needed?

The test requires a standard venous blood sample collected from the arm.

• Is home collection available for this test?

Yes, home blood collection is available through Lahalak Medical Platform for your convenience.

• What does an abnormal result indicate?

It indicates a copy-number abnormality (deletion or gain) in the 13q region, requiring a consultation with a genetic specialist.
