About test
What does FISH FOR WOLF HIRSCHHORN SYNDROME (WHS) OR 4P DELETION - (Outlab) measure?
This genetic test uses fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to look for missing genetic material on the short arm of chromosome 4 (4p), including the region associated with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. It may be used when a healthcare professional is evaluating features that could be linked to a chromosome deletion or to confirm a suspected 4p deletion identified by another test. Results are interpreted alongside clinical findings and other genetic information.
