What is a Karyotyping Test?
A Karyotyping Test is a powerful diagnostic tool that examines the number and structure of your chromosomes. Humans have 46 chromosomes, with two determining your sex—XX for females and XY for males. Any changes in these chromosomes can affect the physical and mental development of your baby. By conducting a karyotyping test, potential genetic abnormalities can be detected early, allowing for timely interventions and informed decisions during pregnancy.
When is Karyotyping Needed?
Karyotyping can be crucial in various situations, including:
- Repeated Miscarriages: If you and your partner have experienced multiple spontaneous abortions, karyotyping can help identify underlying genetic issues.
- Male Fertility Issues: Men with low sperm count (oligozoospermia) or no sperm (azoospermia), as well as those with symptoms like hypogonadism, breast development, or lack of facial hair, may benefit from this test.
- Female Fertility Concerns: Women facing primary amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), short stature, streak gonads, or polycystic ovaries can gain valuable insights from karyotyping.
How is the Karyotyping Test Performed?
At SurroCare Wellness, our karyotyping procedure is straightforward and tailored to your needs:
- Sample Collection: Depending on your situation, samples can be taken from blood, bone marrow, amniotic fluid, or placental tissue.
- Amniocentesis: For amniotic fluid, a safe and minimally invasive procedure is performed.
- Bone Marrow Biopsy: If needed, a bone marrow sample is carefully collected.
- Laboratory Analysis: The sample is placed in a special dish to grow in the lab. Once the cells multiply, they are stained and examined under a microscope.
- Chromosome Evaluation: Our specialists analyze the size, shape, and number of chromosomes, looking for any abnormalities such as missing or extra chromosomes or structural changes.
- Karyotype Report: A detailed karyotype image is produced, highlighting any genetic irregularities that may impact your pregnancy or fertility treatments.
