Karyotype -The chromosomal characteristics of a
cell.
Karyotyping - A chromosome analysis in which cells
are studied to look for abnormalities. Testing a fetus may
show if there is a chromosomal reason for the pregnancy
loss, which causes about 50% of miscarriages. Testing the
parents can help determine if there is an underlying chromosomal
problem that increases the chances of repeated losses, which
occurs in about 3% of couples with recurrent pregnancy loss.
Klinefelter's Syndrome - A genetic abnormality
characterized by having one Y (male) and two X (female)
chromosomes or a mosaic (a combination of 46XY and 47XX).
Klinefelters often causes a fertility problem, though some
men will produce sperm. ART and donor insemination are possible.
The condition can be passed on.
