What is Karyotyping?

Karyotyping is a technique that examines chromosomes in cells to detect genetic abnormalities that cause ailments or diseases. It can detect chromosome abnormalities in blood samples, bone marrow, amniotic fluid, and placental tissue.

How is the test performed?

  • Amniotic Fluid: Collected via amniocentesis.
  • Blood: Drawn using venipuncture.
  • Bone Marrow: Obtained through a biopsy.
  • Placental Tissue: Collected as needed.

The sample is grown in a lab, stained, and inspected using a microscope. A specialist examines the size, shape, and number of chromosomes, generating a karyotype that depicts the chromosome arrangement.

How to prepare for the test: Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions, as preparation varies based on the sample type.

How the test feels:

  • Blood Draw (Venipuncture): A quick pinch.
  • Amniocentesis: Slight discomfort or pressure.
  • Bone Marrow Biopsy: Some discomfort or pain.

Why the test is performed ?

Karyotyping helps:

  • Count chromosomes.
  • Identify structural changes.

 

It is used for:

  • Couples with a history of miscarriage.
  • Children or babies with unusual features or developmental delays.
  • Identifying the Philadelphia chromosome in chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML).
  • Checking for chromosome problems in a developing baby via amniotic fluid.

     

In addition to karyotyping, your provider may order:

  • Microarrays detect minor chromosomal alterations.
  • Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) identifies minor mistakes such as deletions.

     

Risks: Sample collection may present dangers. Occasionally, lab-grown cells may have difficulties requiring a second test to confirm results.

Conclusion: Karyotyping is crucial for detecting genetic anomalies that can cause illnesses or diseases. Understanding the method, preparation, and outcomes helps you make more educated decisions regarding your genetic health.
