A karyotype is the number, forms, and types of chromosomes in a cell
- Determine whether the chromosomes of an adult have an abnormality that can be passed on to a child.
- Determine whether a chromosome defect is preventing a woman from becoming pregnant or causing miscarriages.
- Determine whether a chromosome defect is present in a fetus. Karyotyping also may be done to determine whether chromosomal problems may have caused a fetus to be stillborn.
- Determine the cause of a baby's birth defects or disability.
- Help determine the appropriate treatment for some types of cancer.
- Identify the sex of a person by determining the presence of the Y chromosome. This may be done when a newborn's sex is not clear.

Refer to the related links to see examples of a karyotype for a female and one for a male.
