Overview
Karyotyping is used to diagnose amenorrhea caused by chromosomal disorders, such as Turner syndrome. University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), consist of microencapsulated odorants released by scratching standardized odor-impregnated questionnaires, is used to detect hyposmia or anosmia in Kallmann syndrome.

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 in a view.
- 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), is consisted of microencapsulated odorants; released by scratching standardized odor-impregnated questionnaires.[2]
- It is used to detect hyposmia or anosmia in Kallmann syndrome.[3]
