Video Summary
Karyotyping is the process of examining chromosomes to identify structural changes. It is used to detect genetic disorders and can also be used to determine the biological sex of an individual. The results of a karyotype can help to diagnose chromosomal abnormalities such as an abnormal number of chromosomes, called aneuploidy; or a structural abnormality, such as deletions, duplications, inversions, or translocations. Examples of genetic conditions diagnosed through karyotyping include Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome.
