What is Karyotyping?
Karyotyping is a laboratory test to view a person's chromosomes. The arrangement and size as well as the shape of chromosomes are analyzed. There are 46 chromosomes in the normal human cell, occurring in 23 pairs. Such abnormal conditions either structurally or in number result in genetic diseases, infertility, and developmental defects.

How is Karyotyping Performed?
The karyotyping procedure typically involves:
Blood, bone marrow, amniotic fluid, or placental tissue is collected.
Cells are grown in culture to obtain dividing cells for chromosome analysis.
Chromosomes are stained and viewed under a microscope.
A genetic specialist arranges chromosomes into a karyotype; a report is generated (results may take 1–3 weeks).
How to Prepare for Karyotyping
For blood karyotyping, usually no fasting. For prenatal karyotyping, the sample is obtained via amniocentesis or CVS; follow the preparation for that procedure. Your doctor will give specific instructions.
Understanding Karyotyping Results
Normal karyotype: 46, XX (female) or 46, XY (male) with no structural abnormality. Abnormal results may show aneuploidy, translocations, or other changes; our team will explain what they mean for fertility, pregnancy, or your child's health.
