Karyotyping - Infertility/IVF/RPL

Karyotyping for Infertility, IVF, and Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL)

Karyotyping is a pivotal genetic test used to analyze an individual‘s chromosomes to identify genetic abnormalities that may impact reproductive health. This analysis is essential for couples facing challenges with infertility, undergoing In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), or experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Understanding and addressing chromosomal issues through karyotyping can significantly enhance the chances of successful conception and a healthy pregnancy.

Karyotyping involves examining the number and structure of chromosomes in a cell. It can detect major chromosomal abnormalities such as aneuploidy (an abnormal number of chromosomes), translocations (rearrangements of chromosome segments), Robertsonian translocations (a specific type of chromosomal rearrangement), and mosaicism (the presence of two or more genetically different cell lines in one individual).
