Couple Chromosome Karyotype Analysis (Blood) | 2000 AED
Executive Summary & Core Metrics
Test Overview & Methodology
This test examines the chromosomal structure of both spouses to detect genetic anomalies associated with infertility, recurrent miscarriage, or hereditary disorders. It employs automated robotic karyotyping with G‑banding at 550-band resolution, using cultured lymphocytes from peripheral blood.
| Feature | Our Test | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity (ISO 15189) | ~85–95% (manual, non-accredited) |
| Methodology | Automated robotic karyotyping (G‑banding, 550 bands) with lymphocyte culture | Conventional manual microscopy, lower band resolution |
| Turnaround Time | 10–12 working days | 14–21 days |
| Accreditation | ISO 9001:2015, ISO 15189, DHA/MOHAP Licensed | Often none or local only |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Couple karyotype analysis is a critical tool for uncovering chromosomal causes of infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss. While the test delivers high diagnostic yield, results must always be correlated with clinical history and followed by genetic counselling. Our DHA‑licensed laboratory ensures a secure, confidential environment for your sample.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics (DHA Registration ID: 9294403)
Medication Advisory
⚠️ Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or adjust dosages without consulting your attending physician. Certain medications may affect lymphocyte culture results; inform your phlebotomist of all current prescriptions.
Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Known bleeding diathesis, active systemic infection, recent chemotherapy (may impair lymphocyte culture), or blood transfusion within the past 2 weeks.
- ER Red Flags: If you develop fever, increasing pain, swelling, or signs of infection at the phlebotomy site after collection, seek immediate medical attention.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is a couple chromosome karyotype test?
A couple chromosome karyotype analyzes both partners’ chromosomal structure to detect genetic abnormalities causing infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss. It uses G‑banded karyotyping of cultured lymphocytes, providing a comprehensive genetic blueprint. All results are interpreted by a DHA‑registered Consultant Medical Geneticist.
2. How long does it take to get results?
Couple karyotype results are typically available within 10 to 12 working days, thanks to optimized cell culture and automated analysis. Urgent clinical cases may receive preliminary verbal reports upon request via your physician. Home collection and direct billing are available daily 8 AM – 11 PM.
3. Is a doctor’s referral required?
Yes, a physician referral and completed Form 17 (Chromosome & FISH Analysis Requisition) are required before sample collection. For assistance with referral forms, insurance verification, or scheduling, WhatsApp +971 54 548 8731.
4. Is home collection available for this test?
Yes. Since the specimen is peripheral blood, we offer VIP mobile phlebotomy with temperature‑controlled cold‑chain transport. Our team collects the sample at your home or office from 8 AM to 11 PM, seven days a week.
