What is a genetic disorder that can be detected by karyotyping?

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.
