There are a few types of Turner syndrome. The most common two are:

1) Classic - The karyotype is 45X. The second X chromosome in missing from all cells.

2) Mosaic - The karotype is 45X/46XX. The second X chromosome is missing from some cells.

3) There are other types of Turner syndrome in which the second X is only partly missing or it is partly damaged.

A person with Turner Syndrome only has an X chromossome (instead of having 2 or one X and a Y). Usually, the missing X is the parental chromossome.

You will see, most generally, three 21 chromosomes. This is why this condition is also called trisomy 21. Normally disjunction provides us with pairs of chromosomes.

Analysis of a karyotype determine how many chromosomes are in blood cells. It also determines if there are any missing or extra chromosomal material that are indicators of genetic disorders such as downs syndrome.

Can a karyotype determine eye color?

A karyotype is chart that shows all the chormosomes paired up and in order. A karyotype cannot determine eye color but it can determine what colors that specific person carries and can pass down to the next generation. BUT to determine what the next generation eye color will look like, it is not possible yet, but you can do a punnett square and that will show you the possible choice(s).

What is the karyotype of ALS?

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder that does not have a specific karyotype. ALS can be caused by various genetic mutations, including mutations in genes like C9orf72, SOD1, TARDBP, and FUS. These mutations can be identified through genetic testing, but there is no single karyotype that can definitively diagnose ALS.
