The cluster analysis method of karyotype resemblance-near coefficient was used to study the relationship and evolution of seven species in the genus Kerria.
An amniocentesis was done, revealing normal karyotype (46,XX).Screening tests for fetal infections (toxoplasmosis, MNI, rubeola, CMV, herpes, Coxsackie, enterovirus and Chikungunya) were negative.
In this case, the individual is biologically male, which means they have a 46, XY karyotype, but their androgen receptors don’t respond to testosterone.
Additionally, a karyotype can be done to look for chromosomal abnormalities and specific genetic tests can be ordered if there’s a family history of Fragile-X syndrome.
Just how many of these abnormalities linked with Turner syndrome are actually present depends on the proportion of cells the person has with the 45, X karyotype.
The next most common scenario is mosaicism, meaning the individuals have some cells in their body with the 45, X karyotype and others with a 46, XX karyotype.
