A total of 30 interphase nuclei were scored per sample; microdeletion was reported when the single orange signal with two green signals observed.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 26 samples were referred during the study period. Sex distribution was 13 (50%) males and 13 (50%) females. Among male referrals, 9 of 13 (69%) were confirmed to have the 7q11.23 microdeletions by FISH. Among female only 4 of 13 were positive.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In this retrospective study, a high proportion of male referrals were confirmed (9/13, 69%) positive, while the confirmation rate among females was 4/13, (31%). These results highlight that targeted FISH remains a useful diagnostic tool for suspected WBS.</p> Pankaj Gadhia Salil Vaniawala Copyright (c) 2025 Pankaj Gadhia, Salil Vaniawala https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-10-06 2025-10-06 5 4 01 03 10.64171/JAMS.2025.5.4.1-3
