Karyotype is a test to identify and evaluate the size, shape, and number of chromosomes in a sample of body cells. Extra or missing chromosomes, or abnormal positions of chromosome pieces, can cause problems with a person's growth, development, and body functions.
1 A karyotype gives information about the number of chromosomes a person has, the structure of their chromosomes and the sex of the individual. 2  Monosomy: Mono = one Somy = body.  Monosomy: Only one chromosome is found on the line in the karyotype where a pair of chromosomes should be found.
