Peripheral Blood Karyotyping Single Test
Comprehensive Chromosome Analysis for Genetic Health
The Peripheral Blood Karyotyping Single Test represents a cornerstone of modern genetic diagnostics, providing detailed visualization and analysis of your complete chromosomal structure. This sophisticated laboratory procedure enables healthcare providers to identify chromosomal abnormalities that may impact your health, development, and reproductive outcomes.
What is Karyotyping and Why is it Important?
Karyotyping is a specialized genetic testing method that examines the number, size, and shape of chromosomes in a cell sample. Using advanced cell culture techniques, our laboratory professionals grow your blood cells and capture them during cell division when chromosomes are most visible. The resulting karyotype – a photographic representation of your chromosomes arranged in pairs – provides critical information about your genetic makeup and potential abnormalities.
What the Test Measures and Detects
Our Peripheral Blood Karyotyping Single Test provides comprehensive analysis of:
- Chromosome Number Abnormalities: Detects conditions involving extra or missing chromosomes (aneuploidies)
- Structural Chromosomal Changes: Identifies translocations, deletions, duplications, and inversions
- Genetic Syndromes: Screens for conditions like Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13)
- Sex Chromosome Disorders: Identifies conditions such as Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and Triple X syndrome
- Balanced and Unbalanced Rearrangements: Detects chromosomal rearrangements that may affect fertility or cause developmental issues
Who Should Consider This Test?
Clinical Indications and Symptoms
This test is particularly recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Unexplained Developmental Delays: Children with delayed milestones or intellectual disabilities
- Multiple Congenital Anomalies: Individuals born with multiple physical abnormalities
- Reproductive Health Concerns: Couples experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss or infertility
- Family History of Genetic Disorders: Individuals with known chromosomal conditions in family members
- Suspected Genetic Syndromes: Patients showing physical features suggestive of specific chromosomal disorders
- Advanced Maternal Age: Women over 35 considering pregnancy or currently pregnant
- Abnormal Prenatal Screening Results: Follow-up testing for concerning prenatal findings

Understanding Your Test Results
Interpreting Karyotype Findings
Your karyotyping results will provide detailed information about your chromosomal makeup:
- Normal Results: A typical female karyotype is reported as 46,XX and male as 46,XY, indicating normal chromosome number and structure
- Numerical Abnormalities: Results may indicate extra chromosomes (trisomies) or missing chromosomes (monosomies)
- Structural Abnormalities: Reports may describe translocations, deletions, or other structural changes
- Mosaic Findings: Some individuals may have mixed cell populations with different chromosomal patterns
- Variant Results: Certain chromosomal variations may be reported as normal polymorphisms
Important Note: All results should be reviewed with a qualified healthcare provider or genetic counselor who can explain the implications for your health and provide appropriate guidance.
