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.

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare genetic disorder in which the body cannot process phenylalanine properly.

PKU is typically identified through newborn screening tests and requires lifelong dietary management.

What is the difference between a genetic disorder and a genetic mutation?

A genetic disorder is something an individual is born with, and results from a problem within their genetic material. This means they have inherited the disease or disorder from their Mother or Father. You cannot inherit an infectious disease, you acquire it during your lifetime from a germ, such as a virus or a bacterium. You can also recover from an infectious disease, whereas you will always suffer from a genetic disorder if you inherit one.


Effects of this recessive disorder can be completely overcome by regulating the diet of the affected individual?

Recessive disorders are genetic conditions that can be managed but not completely cured by dietary changes. Managing the diet of an individual with a recessive disorder may help alleviate symptoms or prevent complications, but it cannot completely overcome the genetic basis of the disorder. It is important for individuals with recessive disorders to work closely with healthcare providers to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that may include dietary modifications.

In an individual has no genetic code for phenylalanine?

An individual who cannot produce phenylalanine would not be viable so I believe what you are asking about is Phenylketonuria which is a genetic disorder found is infants who cannot properly digest phenylalanine (they can manufacture it).Hospitals test for this disorder in newborns because it is imperative to place babies that test positive on a strict diet to prevent the mental retardation that is associated with the disorder. Early intervention results in a nearly normal life.
