Familial complex chromosome rearrangement ascertained by in situ hybridisation.
A complex familial chromosome translocation has been ascertained by combining classical cytogenetics and CISS (chromosomal in situ suppression). Cytogenetic analysis of a chorionic villus sample with G banding showed a 47,XX,-2, +der(2)t(2;22),+der(22)t(2;22) karyotype. Analysis of peripheral blood lymphocytes from the parents by G banding and CISS showed a more complex translocation in the fat...
متن کاملDiagnosis of sex in preimplantation embryos by fluorescent in situ hybridisation.
The aim of prenatal genetic diagnosis is to give parents the option of terminating affected pregnancies. For most X linked conditions specific diagnosis is not possible and the only option is induced abortion of all male fetuses, of which half would be unaffected. An altemative is offered by preimplantation diagnosis of sex in embryos obtained by in vitro fertilisation and selective transfer of...
متن کاملApplication of conventional chromosomal aberration and fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) translocation in the assessment of occupationally derived irradiation
Background: Most of our current understanding of the biological effects of exposure to ionising radiation is based on conventional cytogenetic techniques, which enable us to determine the relationship between chromosomal aberration and dose received by radiation workers. However, conventional techniques have numerous limitations and chromosomal aberrations can be easily missed. Since FISH plays...
متن کاملBalanced Chromosomal Rearrangement in Recurrent Spontaneous Abortions: A Case Report
One of the major causes of spontaneous abortion before the fourth month of pregnancy is chromosomal abnormalities. We report an unusual case of a familial balanced chromosomal translocation in a consanguineous couple who experienced 4 spontaneous abortions. Chromosomal studies were performed on the basis of G-banding technique at high resolution and revealed 46, XX, t (16 6) (p12 q26) and 46, X...
متن کاملA complex chromosomal rearrangement with formation of a ring 4.
Ring chromosome formation, though uncommon, is now a well-recognized cause of congenital anomalies in man. On the basis of early work in other organisms, it is assumed that ring formation involves a break in each arm of the chromosome, with reunion to form a centric ring and an acentric fragment. The latter is subsequently lost, and the phenotype results essentially from deletion of this chromo...
