Karyotyping is the cornerstone of cytogenetic analysis - a powerful technique that examines the complete set of chromosomes in a cell. This gold-standard method creates a detailed chromosomal "portrait," revealing the number, size, shape, and banding pattern of all 23 chromosome pairs.
By providing a panoramic view of the entire genome at the chromosomal level, karyotyping remains an essential diagnostic tool for detecting a wide spectrum of genetic abnormalities beyond what targeted tests can identify.

Recommendation
Karyotyping provides a comprehensive view that can identify not only aneuploidies (abnormal chromosome numbers) but also structural changes like deletions, duplications, translocations and inversions that targeted molecular tests might miss.
Our Excellence
At Suraksha Genomics, our conventional karyotyping service represents the pinnacle of cytogenetic precision:
Testing Process
A specimen is obtained by your healthcare provider through standard procedures.
Cells are cultivated in our specialized laboratory environment to promote division.
Cell division is synchronized and halted at metaphase when chromosomes are most visible.
Chromosomes are fixed, spread, and stained to reveal characteristic banding patterns.
Skilled cytogeneticists examine multiple cell spreads under high-power microscopy.
Chromosomes are digitally photographed, arranged and analyzed using specialized software.
Comprehensive analysis by our board-certified cytogeneticists.
Results delivered with clear clinical interpretation and karyogram images.
Expert consultation to explain findings and implications.

FAQs
Karyotyping is a genetic test that examines an individual's chromosomes – the structures that hold our DNA. It creates a "picture" of the chromosomes to count them and look for large changes in their size or structure, which can indicate genetic conditions.
We perform Karyotyping on:
Karyotyping may be recommended for individuals with suspected chromosomal syndromes (like Down syndrome), developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, or when prenatal screening suggests a chromosomal abnormality.
It can detect numerical abnormalities (e.g., an extra or missing chromosome) and large structural rearrangements (e.g., translocations, large deletions or duplications).
We understand that genetic testing involves important decisions and potentially complex results. Our team of specialists is available to address your concerns, explain procedures, and provide the support you need throughout the testing process.
