  Hi Paula -
  
  Yes. We call it Chromosome Analysis. Here is the description from our genetic testing page:
  
  Chromosome Analysis
  Chromosomes are the structures that carry our DNA. A chromosome analysis looks at the number and the structure of an individual's chromosomes. Typically, an analysis of human chromosomes reveals a total of 46 chromosomes. If a sperm donor applicant has an abnormal chromosome numbers or structure he would not be eligible to participate in our program.

  Thanks I read that paragraph on chromosome analysis. I guess I was looking for a more detailed description of what this entailed. I am a nurse so I guess it is in my nature to want more information. Does this testing show translocation of chromosomes?
