Karyotyping by G-Banding-blood near me in Howrah










The Karyotyping by G-Banding-blood is an advanced cytogenetic test used to examine the number, size, shape, and structure of chromosomes to detect genetic abnormalities. It uses a specialized G-banding staining technique, which produces characteristic light and dark banding patterns that help specialists identify missing, extra, or rearranged chromosomes. This test plays an important role in diagnosing inherited genetic disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, congenital anomalies (birth defects), infertility-related genetic conditions, recurrent pregnancy loss, and chromosomal abnormalities associated with certain non-hematological malignancies. This test is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Howrah.
Note: This test is not meant for the diagnosis of hematological malignancies (or Leukemia).








What does Karyotyping by G-Banding-blood measure?
The Karyotyping by G-Banding-blood examines the complete set of chromosomes in a blood sample to evaluate their number, size, shape, and structure. It detects numerical chromosomal abnormalities, such as extra or missing chromosomes (aneuploidy), as well as structural abnormalities, including deletions, duplications, inversions, translocations, and other chromosomal rearrangements.
This test helps identify constitutional (inherited or congenital) chromosomal abnormalities associated with genetic disorders, developmental delay, intellectual disability, congenital anomalies, infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and certain reproductive disorders. The results also provide valuable information for genetic counseling, reproductive planning, and determining whether additional genetic tests, such as FISH, chromosomal microarray, or genetic sequencing, may be required.
