%X Karyotype
prescription is based on clinical signs (or reasons for karyotype prescription)
which are phenotypic manifestations associated with chromosomal abnormalities.
The aim of this study was to establish a correspondence <span>between karyotype indications and their results in patients. This was a
re</span>trospective study that was carried out in the
Histology-Embryology-Cytogenetics laboratory of the University Hospital of
Cocody-Abidjan from 2014 to 2019. 58 patient files were identified and included
the indication or reason for prescribing a constitutional karyotype and the
biological result obtained. An individual data sheet was used to collect the
data. 17 reasons for prescription were identified and divided into 2 groups.
Sexual ambiguity was the most frequent reason (29.3%). The first group (G1)
represented the 10 reasons for which the karyotype results were normal. The
second group (G2) corresponded of the 7 motives with normal or abnormal
karyotype results. Several anomalies were listed according to these reasons:
inversions, mosaics (anomalies of number and structure) and trisomy 21. The
last was the most frequent chromosomal anomaly (69.24%). It was found in
several reasons for karyotype prescription: malformations, neurological
disorders, suspected tri<span>somy and cardiac
pathology. Several factors could explain these results,</span> among which are
the limits of the karyotype and the non-genetic causes that can in<span>duce these abnormal phenotypes. Complementary
examinations to the karyotype</span> are molecular cytogenetic techniques,
notably fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and array comparative genomic
hybridization (Array-CGH).
