| ==Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods==
| |
| TS can be diagnosed prenatally through chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis, followed by G-banded chromosome analysis or karyotyping. Postnatal confirmation requires chromosome analysis of a phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated peripheral blood (PB) specimen. In cases of mosaicism, the karyotype may appear normal, so additional diagnostic methods may be necessary.
| |
|
| |
| If TS is strongly suspected, a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) study using an X chromosome centromere probe may be performed alongside karyotyping. Furthermore, if clinical suspicion remains high despite normal results from chromosome analysis and FISH, a chromosome analysis of a skin fibroblast culture may be indicated.
