A karyotype would be unable to Turner syndrome?
No, a karyotype shows if a person has Turner syndrome.
Turner's syndrome individuals have which genotype?
A person with Turner's syndrome has a missing or damaged X chromosome in some or all of their cells. There are two possible karyotypes with Turner syndrome - 45X (The second X is missing from all cells) and 45X/46XX (The second X is missing from some cells).
What are characteristics of Turners syndrome?
Depending on the type of Turner syndrome a person has, their karyotype is either: 45X - classic Turner syndrome - second X chromosome missing from all cells 45X/46XX - Mosaic Turner syndrome - second X chromosome missing from some cells. There is another type of Turner syndrome, but it has a more complicated karyotype and I am not sure what the karyotype is off the top of my head.
Can a karyotype reveal turner syndrome?
Yes. A karyotype will show the chromosomes and an affected person will have XXY instead of XY for a normal male.
Is the karyotype of a person with schizophrenia normal or abnormal?
The majority of people with schizophrenia have normal karyotypes. If the karyotype is abnormal, it will be a coincidence and not the cause of the schizophrenia. For example, you can have Turner syndrome (1 X chromosome) and schizophrenia at the same time, but the Turner syndrome wouldn't have caused the schizophrenia.
What does the karyotype of a person with turners syndrome look like?
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.
How do you diagnose turner syndrome?
The diagnosis is confirmed with a blood test to look at the person's chromosomes so it can be seen if the second X chromosome is missing. This test is done after a doctor notices the person has characteristics associated with Turner syndrome.
How is Turners Syndrome transmitted?
Do you mean how do doctors test for Turner syndrome? It is a blood test to find out about the person's chromosomes, to see if the person is missing the second X chromosome.
If you are a girl and you have turner syndrome when will your growthplates close in your feet?
That would be different for every person with Turner syndrome, just like it would be different for every person without Turner syndrome.
What is the method of transport for the turner syndrome?
Turner syndrome cannot be transported from one person to another as it is a chromosomal disorder.
Whst is the syndrome if a person has a karyotype with the chromosome XXY?
excellent prognosis. men with xyy syndrome (jacob's syndrome) live comfortably.
What are the scenarios of passing turner syndrome?
It is not passed on from parent to child. It is an error in meiosis.
