Karyotype test

A karyotype test is a basic genetic laboratory test conducted to exclude chromosomal aberrations in the number or shape of chromosomes. Genetic testing of women or couples plays an important role in the management of diagnosis of fertility disorders. We most often recommend this test for women who have had repeated miscarriages, for women in later reproductive age, and for couples who have given birth to a genetically or otherwise affected foetus. It is also an important test before the preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) plan of embryos.
