Book a Test- Karyotypimg / Chromosomal Analysis, Bone Marrow

Karyotyping is a medical test used to examine the chromosomes in a person's cells. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry genetic information in the nucleus of every cell. The test involves taking a sample of cells, usually from the blood or bone marrow, and analyzing them under a microscope to visualize the chromosomes. The chromosomes are then arranged in a specific order, called a karyotype, which shows the number and structure of the chromosomes. This information can help diagnose genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and other chromosomal abnormalities. Karyotyping can also help identify genetic changes that may increase the risk of certain diseases or disorders. The test is often used in prenatal testing, genetic counseling, and cancer diagnosis. By examining the chromosomes, healthcare providers can gain a better understanding of an individual's genetic makeup and provide more accurate diagnoses and treatment options.
