Overview
Karyotyping is used to diagnose amenorrhea caused by chromosomal disorders, such as Turner syndrome. Other test include University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), which consists of microencapsulated odorants; released by scratching standardized odor-impregnated questionnaires and are used in detection of hyposmia or anosmia seen in Kallmann syndrome.
Other Diagnostic Studies
 |
Karyotyping
- In every chromosomal disorder that causes amenorrhea, karyotyping is a reliable way of diagnosis.
- Karyotyping is the way of direct visualization of human chromosomes.
- Turner syndrome is characterized by one single X chromosome in females, instead of one pair of X chromosomes.[1]
Olfactory function test
- The test, called University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), consists of microencapsulated odorants; released by scratching standardized odor-impregnated questionnaires.[2]
- It is used to detect hyposmia or anosmia seen in Kallmann syndrome.[3]
