Genetic abnormalities have been associated with 6 to 13% of stillbirths, but the true prevalence may be higher. Unlike karyotype analysis, microarray analysis does not require live cells, and it de ...

Your doctor may suggest that you get a karyotype test, based on the results of a pregnancy screening test. Find out what the test looks for and when it’s done.

The term "karyotype" refers to the chromosomal pattern inside the nucleus of an animal cell (eukaryote), as well as to describes the set of chromosomes in a species or in an individual organism ...

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a rare blood cancer that develops in the bone marrow. Karyotyping is a genetic technique doctors use to diagnose CML and choose more effective treatments.

Cytoplasmic NPM is a characteristic feature of a large subgroup of patients with AML who have a normal karyotype, NPM gene mutations, and responsiveness to induction chemotherapy.

G-banded karyotype of a trisomy 21 female, showing three copies of human chromosome 21 (HSA21).

Mechanisms of karyotype evolution Non-allelic homologous recombination at meiosis is the basis by which conserved segments of the genome are separated and fused in different combinations 10, 17, 29.

Learn about the formation of YY chromosomes and what kinds of physical characteristics and symptoms are associated with XYY syndrome.

Photograph of a karyotype - the collection of chromosomes within each cell of an organism - from a male mouse engineered by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers to model Down syndrome in a human ...

Purpose To investigate the prognostic value of various cytogenetic components of a complex karyotype in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patients and Methods Cytogenetics and overall survival (OS) were ...

Researchers for the first time have successfully fused two chromosomes in mice and shown that the new karyotype can be transmitted to offspring. The researchers used a strategy that involved ...
