Chromosomal Screening to Identify Genetic Abnormalities from the Cellular Level
Understand your health at the chromosomal level
Behind the completeness of the human body lies the “chromosomes,” which contain essential genetic information that determines shape, gender, development, and body function.
Even a minor abnormality in chromosomes can lead to infertility, repeated miscarriages, Down syndrome, or developmental issues in children.
The Karyotype Test (or Chromosome Analysis) is a test that examines the number and structure of chromosomes in the body.
What is the Karyotype Test?
Humans normally have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), with 23 coming from the mother and 23 from the father.
This test can detect abnormalities such as:
- Excess or missing chromosomes (e.g., Trisomy 21 or Down syndrome)
- Translocation (when parts of chromosomes break off and reattach to another chromosome)
- Missing segments of chromosomes
- Sex chromosome abnormalities (e.g., Turner Syndrome, Klinefelter Syndrome)
How is the Test Done?
- A small blood sample is drawn from the vein.
- White blood cells from the sample are cultured in a lab.
- Chromosomes are stained and examined under a microscope.
Chromosomes are analyzed and arranged in a Karyogram to observe their overall structure.
Typically takes around 10–14 days, depending on the laboratory.
Preparation for the Test
- No fasting or special preparation is needed.
- Inform the doctor of any family history of genetic conditions.
- If you are taking medications such as chemotherapy drugs or immunosuppressants, please notify the doctor before the test.
- Pregnant women should inform the doctor of the gestational age to assess the suitability of the test timing.
Why Should You Get Tested?
- To diagnose genetic abnormalities that affect health.
- To assess the risk of infertility or recurrent miscarriages.
- To check for chromosomal abnormalities in children or adults with developmental issues.
- To screen before having children to prevent the inheritance of genetic abnormalities
To determine the genetic sex in cases of ambiguous sex development.
Who Should Get Tested?
- Couples with a history of infertility or frequent miscarriages.
- Individuals with a family history of genetic disorders.
- Pregnant women wanting to screen for fetal risks.
- Children or adults with delayed development or physical abnormalities.
- Those suspected of having sex chromosome complications (e.g., Turner or Klinefelter syndrome).
Summary
The Karyotype Test provides an in-depth genetic analysis that helps identify the root cause of health issues at the cellular level. It is especially useful for those wanting to safely plan a family or understand the cause of unexplained health problems that traditional tests cannot explain.
At LINNA Clinic, we offer Karyotype Testing with high-standard laboratory accuracy, alongside expert guidance from genetic specialists, to help plan the appropriate care and treatment.
