Linked from

The 29 pages that link to Karyotype, each with the reason it gives.

• Genetic testingRelated: Chromosome analysis can reveal abnormalities too large for sequence-based tests to detect.

• ChromosomeRelated: Karyotypes reveal chromosome number and large structural changes.

• Prenatal diagnosisRelated: Chromosome analysis can diagnose conditions such as trisomies from sampled fetal or placental cells.

• AneuploidyRelated: Karyotyping can reveal missing or additional whole chromosomes.

• Turner syndromeRelated: Chromosome analysis can confirm the diagnosis and identify some mosaic patterns.

• DiploidRelated: A karyotype can show the chromosome pairs characteristic of diploid cells.

• Homologous chromosomesRelated: Karyotypes arrange chromosomes into homologous pairs for comparison.

• Chromosomal microarrayCompared with: Karyotyping sees large chromosome changes but usually lacks microarray’s resolution for small copy-number changes.

• Myelodysplastic syndromeRelated: Chromosome abnormalities can support diagnosis and inform prognosis.

• NondisjunctionRelated: Karyotyping can reveal the abnormal chromosome counts produced by nondisjunction.

• Sex chromosomeRelated: Karyotypes display the sex-chromosome complement, such as XX or XY.

• Androgen insensitivity syndromeRelated: Chromosome analysis can identify the typical 46,XY pattern associated with the syndrome.

• Klinefelter syndromeRelated: Chromosome analysis can confirm an XXY or mosaic chromosome pattern.

• Male infertilityRelated: Chromosome testing can identify genetic causes in severe sperm-production disorders.

• AmniocentesisRelated: Chromosomes from sampled cells can be arranged into a karyotype to detect major abnormalities.

• CytogeneticsRelated: The karyotype is the central visual summary used to identify chromosome number and structure.

• PloidyRelated: A karyotype can reveal chromosome-set number and abnormalities.

• ColchicineRelated: Colchicine arrests dividing cells so condensed chromosomes can be examined.

• Delayed pubertyRelated: Chromosome analysis may identify conditions such as Turner syndrome in the evaluation.

• Primary ovarian insufficiencyRelated: Chromosome testing can detect causes such as Turner syndrome.

• Cri du chat syndromeRelated: Chromosome analysis can reveal a large deletion or rearrangement involving 5p.

• Jérôme LejeuneRelated: Chromosome analysis made the extra chromosome visible in cells from people with Down syndrome.

• Pentasomy XRelated: A karyotype can identify the characteristic 49,XXXXX chromosome complement.

• Tetrasomy XRelated: The notation 48,XXXX summarizes the chromosome count and sex chromosome complement.

• AphalliaRelated: Chromosome analysis can help characterize sex development in an infant with aphallia.

• Chromosome abnormalityRelated: Karyotyping reveals many numerical and large structural abnormalities.

• Jacobsen syndromeRelated: It may detect a large chromosome 11 deletion or a chromosome rearrangement.

• Trisomy 16Related: It can reveal whether tested cells carry an extra chromosome 16.

• XY gonadal dysgenesisRelated: Chromosome analysis can confirm an XY complement and identify some chromosome rearrangements or mosaic patterns.
