🧬 What is Karyotyping – Blood (Wife)?
Karyotyping is a chromosomal analysis test that examines the number and structure of chromosomes in white blood cells (lymphocytes) from a blood sample.
For women, it is commonly ordered during:
- Recurrent miscarriage investigations
- Infertility evaluations
- Preconception genetic screening
- Assessment of menstrual abnormalities or developmental issues
❓ Why is the Test Done?
In women, this test helps:
- Detect balanced or unbalanced chromosomal translocations
- Identify conditions like Turner syndrome (45,X) or Triple X syndrome (47,XXX)
- Investigate primary amenorrhea, delayed puberty, or infertility
- Assess genetic risks to offspring
- Guide couples undergoing IVF/ART in case of repeated implantation failure
🧪 How the Test is Done
- A blood sample is taken from a vein.
- White blood cells are cultured and arrested during metaphase.
- Chromosomes are stained and viewed under a microscope.
- A karyogram is generated — a picture of the chromosome pairs.
📊 Normal Karyotype Result
Notation | Interpretation |
|---|---|
46, XX | Normal female karyotype |
📈 Interpretation of Abnormal Results
Result | Condition |
|---|---|
45, X | Turner syndrome (can cause infertility, short stature) |
47, XXX | Triple X syndrome (may be asymptomatic or mild effects) |
Balanced translocation | Often asymptomatic but may cause recurrent miscarriages |
Marker chromosomes | Small extra chromosomes; clinical effect varies |
Mosaicism | Presence of two different cell lines (e.g., 45,X/46,XX) |
🧠 Associated Organs & Conditions
System | Associated Conditions |
|---|---|
Reproductive | Infertility, primary ovarian insufficiency, PCOS |
Endocrine | Delayed puberty, amenorrhea |
Fetal risk | Risk of chromosomal abnormalities in offspring |
