Down's syndrome is one that can be detected, in this disorder the person has one extra chromosome. This chromosome failed to separate during cell divisoin which resulted in a gamete having 24 chromosomes instead of 23. A person with downs syndrome has 47 chromosomes which can be observed by karyotyping.
Another in turner's syndrom, in only occurs on the X chromosome and it results in a female missing or having an abnormal X chromosome. In karyotyping you will see that the female only has one X chromosome. It can not occur in males because they only have one X chromosome and a Y chromosome can not survive by it self.
Klinefelter's Syndrome is when a male has an extra X chromosome. So he will have XXY (47 chromosomes) this is also detected in karyotyping.
Karyotyping is a test to examine chromosomes in a sample of cells, which can help identify genetic problems. They can also be used to study chromosomal aberrations, cellular function, and gather information past evolutionary events.

∙ 11y agoYes - genetic disorders that involve whole chromosomes or large segments of chromosomes can be detected on a karyotype. An example of this would be Trisomy 21, or Down syndrome.

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. Examples of these would be cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell disease and dwarfism.

How are genetic diseases predicted?
By looking at the individuals chromosomes through a process called Karyotyping
Why is karyotyping performed?
Karyotyping is performed to review the genetic sequencing of a person to make sure that the person does not have defective genetic material, which could lead to serious deformities or mutations that would affect the development of a person or otherwise affect the person negatively throughout their lives.
