This test can be used to diagnose large deletions.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;FISH&#039;&#039;&#039; - a laboratory technique that is used to detect and locate a specific [[DNA sequence]] on a chromosome. During [[FISH]], a chromosome is exposed to a small DNA sequence called a probe that has a [[fluorescent]] molecule attached to it. The probe sequence binds to its corresponding sequence on the chromosome. This test can be used in combination with [[karyotyping]] for deletions that are too small to be seen on karyotype, alone. However, FISH is only useful if the person ordering the test suspects there is a deletion of a specific region of 4q.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Array CGH&#039;&#039;&#039; - a technology that detects deletions that are too small to be seen on karyotype.<br /> <br /> == &#039;&#039;&#039;Treatment&#039;&#039;&#039; ==<br /> Treatment is based on the signs and symptoms present in each person.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Genetic syndromes]]<br /> {{rarediseases}}<br /> {{stub}}</div>
