Karyotyping Test Overview
A karyotype test analyses the shape, number, and size of chromosomes. Genes are present in chromosomes in cells. They are parts of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) passed down from one's parents. They contain information that defines one's unique traits, such as eye colour and height. Normally, people have 46 chromosomes in each cell, split into 23 pairs. Half of the chromosomes are from the father, and the other is from the mother. If the number of chromosomes is more or less than 46, or the shape or size of the chromosomes is unusual, it could indicate the presence of a genetic disease.
Karyotyping by G-banding peripheral blood is a test that examines a person's chromosomes for abnormalities in their number or structure. This test utilizes a special G-banding technique to stain chromosomes, revealing distinct banding patterns that allow cytogeneticists to identify any missing, extra, or rearranged chromosomes. This information is crucial for diagnosing various genetic conditions, birth defects, and some blood or lymphatic system disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions
To find chromosome abnormalities, in order to help diagnose genetic diseases, any birth defects, and some disorders of the blood and lymphatic system.
Your doctor would recommend this test if
- The foetus is suspected of having a chromosomal abnormality,
- If an infant has congenital abnormalities,
- If a woman has been experiencing miscarriages or infertility,
- When an adult shows signs of a genetic disorder.
Chromosome examination or karyotyping is a test that study the number and shape of a person's chromosomes in order to find abnormalities. Chromosomes are thread-like structures inside each cell nucleus and contain the body's genetic plan. Each chromosome contains thousands of genes in certain locations. These genes are responsible for a person’s congenital physical characteristics and they have a significant impact on growth, development, and functioning of the body.
Humans have 46 chromosomes, present as 23 pairs. 22 pairs are found in both sexes (autosomes) and one pair (sex chromosomes) is present as either XY (in males) or XX (in females). Normally, all cells in the body that have a nucleus will comprise a complete set of the same 46 chromosomes, except for the reproductive cells (eggs and sperm), which contain a half set of 23. This half set is the genetic contribution that will be passed on to a child. At conception, half sets from each parent combine to form a new set of 46 chromosomes in the developing foetus.
A chromosomal karyotyping examines a person's chromosomes to verify if the right number is present and to ascertain if each chromosome appears normal.
