Chromosome Analysis Karyotype Blood Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Chromosome Analysis Karyotype Blood Test for individuals seeking to identify any abnormalities or genetic disorders caused by changes in the structure or number of chromosomes. This test is commonly used in the field of genetic disorders and is performed by our experienced team of professionals.
Test Details
The Chromosome Analysis Karyotype Blood Test, also known as karyotyping, involves examining the chromosomes in a person’s cells. During the test, a sample of blood is taken from the individual and sent to our laboratory for analysis. The cells in the blood sample are cultured and allowed to grow before being stained to make the chromosomes visible under a microscope.
Our trained cytogeneticists then analyze the structure, size, and number of the chromosomes. Any abnormalities or variations are documented, and a karyotype is created, which provides a visual representation of the chromosomes arranged in pairs.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
The Chromosome Analysis Karyotype Blood Test can help identify various genetic disorders, including Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and many others. It can also be used to determine the sex of an individual and identify any chromosomal abnormalities associated with infertility or recurrent miscarriages.
If you experience symptoms such as developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, or physical abnormalities, your doctor, whether a gynecologist or a pediatrician, may recommend the Chromosome Analysis Karyotype Blood Test to diagnose any underlying genetic disorders.
Test Cost and Sample Condition
The cost of the Chromosome Analysis Karyotype Blood Test is AED 910.0. To perform the test, a minimum of 3 mL and up to 5 mL of whole blood is required. The blood should be collected in 2 Green Top (Sodium Heparin) tubes and shipped refrigerated immediately. It is important not to freeze the specimen, and it must reach our laboratory in New Delhi within 24 hours.
