Chromosome 15q11 Gene Prader-Willi Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Prader-Willi Syndrome
The Chromosome 15q11 Prader-Willi Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in genetic diagnostics for neurological disorders. Using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, this comprehensive test provides definitive analysis of the critical 15q11-q13 chromosomal region associated with Prader-Willi syndrome, a complex neurodevelopmental condition affecting approximately 1 in 10,000 to 30,000 individuals worldwide.
What Does This Test Measure and Detect?
This sophisticated genetic test specifically targets and analyzes the 15q11-q13 chromosomal region using cutting-edge NGS technology to detect:
- Deletions in the paternal chromosome 15q11-q13 region
- Maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) of chromosome 15
- Imprinting center defects and methylation abnormalities
- Specific gene mutations within the critical region
- Epigenetic modifications affecting gene expression
The test provides comprehensive coverage of key genes including SNRPN, NDN, MAGEL2, and other critical genes within the Prader-Willi syndrome critical region, ensuring high diagnostic accuracy and reliability.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is recommended for individuals displaying characteristic symptoms of Prader-Willi syndrome, including:
- Infants and newborns with severe hypotonia (poor muscle tone), feeding difficulties, failure to thrive, and weak cry
- Children showing developmental delays, hyperphagia (excessive eating), rapid weight gain, and behavioral issues
- Individuals with characteristic facial features, short stature, small hands and feet, and hypogonadism
- Patients with suspected genetic disorders involving chromosome 15 abnormalities
- Families with history of Prader-Willi syndrome or related genetic conditions
Key Benefits of Early Genetic Testing
Early diagnosis through comprehensive genetic testing offers numerous advantages:
- Early Intervention: Enables prompt implementation of specialized care and management strategies
- Personalized Treatment: Facilitates development of tailored therapeutic approaches based on genetic findings
- Family Planning: Provides crucial information for genetic counseling and family planning decisions
- Improved Outcomes: Early management can significantly enhance quality of life and developmental progress
- Definitive Diagnosis: Eliminates diagnostic uncertainty and enables appropriate medical care
Understanding Your Test Results
Our comprehensive genetic counseling services help you understand your test results:
- Positive Result: Confirms Prader-Willi syndrome diagnosis, enabling immediate implementation of specialized care protocols
- Negative Result: Rules out Prader-Willi syndrome, guiding further diagnostic evaluation for other conditions
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Requires additional family studies and clinical correlation
- Carrier Status: Provides information about genetic risk factors for family members
All results are accompanied by detailed explanations and recommendations from our certified genetic counselors.
