Chromosome testing helps detect abnormalities of human chromosomes that cause a number of dangerous diseases. This is a modern paraclinical test, helping to diagnose diseases related to genetics, congenital malformations or find the cause of infertility in couples.

When you are pregnant, you will be tested to screen for fetal abnormalities. If any abnormalities are detected, your doctor may recommend a karyotype to determine whether your baby has any genetic or chromosomal problems.
