Yes a karyotype is performed which is a blood test to be able to look at the number of chromosomes a person has, and therefore would be able to identify the extra X chromosome in case someone has it.

Why might parents decide to have genetic testing?
Parents might decide to have genetic testing to determine if either or both of them carry certain genetic traits that could be passed on to their offspring. Some genetic traits will lead to severe birth defects or problematic diseases that could severely impact the quality of their children's lives. If they are indeed carriers of certain traits, they may choose to avoid having children or choose adoption as an alternative. In this way, they can eliminate their particular genetic line and avoid passing the trait on to the next generation.

Is Asperger syndrome genetic?
Response:There is a genetic component to Asperger's Syndrome. If you have a blood relative with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, you are more likely than average to have a child with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, but it does not mean that you will. If both parents have autism or Asperger's Syndrome, there is an even greater likelihood that they will have children with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, but it does not mean that all or any of their children will. Ongoing research is attempting to determine causes of autism spectrum disorders, but there are still many unanswered questions.I think that there is a strong genetic component to Asperger's Syndrome. Ever since I found that I had it I have begun to notice many of my family members who behave somewhat eccentrically. My father definitely has it. As do most of my relatives on my father's side to some degree or the other.Response:Yes! Asperger's Syndrome is definitely genetic! It's a 50-50 possibility my paternal grandmother had it, because she was "eccentric" herself!Response:There is a strong genetic component as shown in twin studies, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you will inherit it from your parents, or that your children will inherit from you, only that you have a higher likelihood of having AS than the general population if someone in your family has AS or autism.If you have one child with autism or AS, there is an increased chance that a second child will have autism or AS. If you have two children with autism or AS, it is much more likely that your other children will also have autism or AS.
