Description
Karyotyping is a quantitative and qualitative test of all chromosomes (genetic material) of a person. Karyotyping makes it possible to identify physiological characteristics and pathological defects in human genes and, as a result, to identify pathological changes in the state of the body associated with defective genes. The sampling of amniotic fluid, followed by karyotypes, allows diagnosing fetal chromosomal pathology.
If severe pathological changes are detected in the fetus, there may be a question of terminating the pregnancy for medical reasons.
Using analysis with the prefix CITO allows you to significantly speed up the results.
When and who needs the test?
Detection of congenital and hereditary diseases (study of the karyotype of the cells obtained, determination of the number of chromosomes and their structure), adverse results of the screening study (deviations on ultrasound, in the biochemical analysis of blood – a ‘triple’ or ‘double’ test), the woman’s age (at 35 and more than years, the risk of having a child with chromosomal abnormalities increases), the birth of a child with a history of hereditary pathology, a burdened family history (the spouses have relatives with hereditary diseases or chromosomal abnormalities).
