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.

Other Diagnostic Studies

Karyotyping of Turner syndrome[1]

Karyotyping

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]
