There are no 'Side Effects', just things that 'come with the package'.

What is a genetic disorder that cannot be detected by karyotyping?
Karyotyping looks at the complete set of chromosomes. It can detect large-scale abnormalities, such as missing/extra chromosomes or whether large pieces of chromosomes have been rearranged. It cannot detect any of the many, many genetic disorders which are caused by a single gene, several genes or gene interactions.
