Karyotype analysis can detect several chromosomal abnormalities, including:
Aneuploidy: An abnormal number of chromosomes, such as trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). Translocations: A segment of one chromosome is transferred to another chromosome. Deletions: A portion of a chromosome is missing. Duplications: A portion of a chromosome is duplicated, resulting in extra genetic material. Inversions: A portion of a chromosome is reversed end to end.
