Answer:

Karyotyping is a test to examine chromosomes in a sample of cells. This test can help identify genetic problems as the cause of a disorder or disease.

Amniocentesis is a prenatal test that can diagnose genetic disorders (such as Down syndrome and spina bifida) and other health issues in a fetus.

Genetic testing is useful in many areas of medicine and can change the medical care you or your family member receives. Genetic testing provides a diagnosis for a genetic condition such as Fragile X or information about your risk to develop cancer.
