Chromosome Karyotyping Test at Home | Lahalak Platform
Comprehensive genetic study of chromosomes to detect abnormalities causing recurrent miscarriages or developmental delays, helping you make informed medical and family decisions based on accurate scientific data.
Scientific name: Chromosome Karyotyping (Peripheral Blood)
Cytogenetic testing analyzes the chromosomes in divided white blood cells. The chromosomes are imaged and arranged according to size and centrosome position to create a visual map (karyotype). This allows for the detection of numerical (such as trisomy) and structural (such as translocations, deletions, and inversions) abnormalities that may cause...
Included Services
- Accurate analysis of the karyotype from a peripheral blood sample.
- Consult a specialist (usually a geneticist) to interpret the results.

Medical Service Information
Conditions & Notices
- Fasting is not required before drawing a blood sample.
- The blood sample must be transported to the laboratory in a sterile tube with a suitable anticoagulant (lithium heparin or citrate) for cell culture.
- The waiting period for the result may be relatively long (usually two to four weeks) because it requires culturing the cells and stimulating their division in the laboratory before analysis.
