A technique for multiple-cell chromosome karyotyping.

Limitations of chromosome classification by multicolor karyotyping.

Multicolor karyotyping technologies, such as spectral karyotyping (SKY) (Schröck et al.1996; Liyanage et al. 1996) and multiplex (M-) FISH (Speicher et al. 1996), have proved to be extremely useful in prenatal, postnatal, and cancer cytogenetics. However, these technologies have inherent limitations that, in certain situations, may result in chromosomal misclassification. In this report, we pre...

Novel method for the production of multiple colour chromosome paints for use in karyotyping by fluorescence in situ hybridisation.

The development of 24-colour fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) has led to significant advances in cytogenetic research and offers the potential for automated karyotypic analysis. However, these techniques are not in routine research or clinical use because of limitations in methods of probe preparation. This article presents new probe construction protocols and strategies for multiple-c...

Chromosome-scale mega-haplotypes enable digital karyotyping of cancer aneuploidy

Genomic instability is a frequently occurring feature of cancer that involves large-scale structural alterations. These somatic changes in chromosome structure include duplication of entire chromosome arms and aneuploidy where chromosomes are duplicated beyond normal diploid content. However, the accurate determination of aneuploidy events in cancer genomes is a challenge. Recent advances in se...

is karyotyping and y chromosome microdeletion study necessary in men candidate for icsi?

background: the sperm count and function may be affected by karyotype abnormalities or microdeletion in y chromosome. these genetic abnormalities can probably transmit to the children. objective: in this study, we tried to determine the frequency of karyotype abnormalities and y chromosome microdeletions in severe oligospermic or azoospermic men who fathered sons by icsi. materials and methods:...
