Chromosome passport

Karyotype is a chromosomal set of a human - a genetic passport that does not change throughout life. Normally, a human karyotype has 46 chromosomes (23 chromosomes from each parent).

The study of the karyotype of the married couple is carried out both for the detection of asymptomatic carrier chromosomal abnormalities, and for the prevention of the transmission of chromosomal abnormalities to the descendants.

The result of the karyotype analysis helps doctors to determine the tactics of infertility treatment for married couple or the usual miscarriage of pregnancy, and to assess the chances of a married couple for the birth of a healthy child and to develop an individual program for solving reproductive problems of couples.
