Karyotype refers to genetic testing. A karyotype is a pictorial analysis of the number, form, and size of an individual's chromosomes. Cells from any nucleated replicating body tissue (except red blood cells, nerves or muscles) can be used for testing. The most commonly used tissues are white blood cells and fetal cells in amniotic fluid. The female karyotype is 46XX chromosomes and the male karyotype is 46XY chromosomes. Karyotypes can be used to determine the sex of a child and the presence of any gross chromosomal abnormalities
