The FISH Prader Willi Syndrome SNRPN Test is a specialized cytogenetic analysis that detects chromosomal abnormalities on chromosome 15q11-q13, specifically targeting the SNRPN gene region associated with Prader-Willi syndrome. This advanced fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test provides definitive diagnosis for this complex genetic disorder characterized by hypotonia, feeding difficulties, developmental delays, and hyperphagia. The test is essential for infants and children showing symptoms of Prader-Willi syndrome, enabling early intervention and proper management. Results are typically available within 4 working days, providing families with timely genetic information. The test is priced at $226 USD (discounted from $376 USD) and is available at all GGC DNA locations across the United States.

FISH Prader Willi Syndrome SNRPN Test

Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Prader-Willi Syndrome

The FISH Prader Willi Syndrome SNRPN Test represents a cutting-edge diagnostic approach in the field of medical genetics, specifically designed to identify chromosomal abnormalities associated with Prader-Willi syndrome. This sophisticated fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique provides clinicians with precise molecular information crucial for accurate diagnosis and subsequent patient management strategies.

What Does the FISH Prader Willi Syndrome SNRPN Test Detect?

This specialized genetic test specifically targets the SNRPN (Small Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein Polypeptide N) gene region located on chromosome 15 at position q11-q13. The test detects:

  • Chromosomal deletions in the 15q11-q13 region
  • Uniparental disomy (UPD) patterns
  • Imprinting center defects
  • Structural abnormalities affecting the SNRPN gene
  • Paternal chromosome 15 deletions

Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?

The FISH Prader Willi Syndrome SNRPN Test is recommended for individuals displaying characteristic symptoms of Prader-Willi syndrome, including:

  • Infants with severe hypotonia (poor muscle tone)
  • Newborns experiencing feeding difficulties and failure to thrive
  • Children with developmental delays and cognitive impairment
  • Individuals with hyperphagia (excessive eating) and obesity
  • Patients with hypogonadism and delayed puberty
  • Children showing behavioral problems and obsessive-compulsive tendencies
  • Individuals with short stature and small hands/feet

Clinical Benefits of Early Diagnosis

Early detection through the FISH Prader Willi Syndrome SNRPN Test provides numerous advantages:

  • Enables early intervention and specialized care planning
  • Facilitates appropriate growth hormone therapy initiation
  • Supports development of personalized nutritional management
  • Allows for behavioral intervention strategies
  • Provides genetic counseling opportunities for families
  • Helps prevent obesity-related complications
  • Improves overall quality of life outcomes

Understanding Your Test Results

Your FISH Prader Willi Syndrome SNRPN Test results will be carefully interpreted by our board-certified genetic specialists:

  • Normal Result: No deletion detected in the 15q11-q13 region
  • Abnormal Result: Deletion present, consistent with Prader-Willi syndrome diagnosis
  • Inconclusive Result: May require additional testing such as methylation analysis

All positive results are accompanied by comprehensive genetic counseling to help families understand the implications and develop appropriate management strategies.
