Homodicentric chromosomes: a distinctive type of dicentric chromosome.
This report describes two patients with a distinctive type of dicentric autosomal chromosome formed by breakage and union between homologous chromosomes. These stable chromosomes possess two C bands, implying the presence of two centromeric regions. The first child, evaluated for dysmorphic features was shown to have an abnormal chromosome 16, designated as 46, XX, -16, + dic (16) (pter leads t...
متن کاملDicentric Y chromosome in mixed gonadal dysgenesis.
A 15-year-old girl was investigated because of ambiguous genitalia. Her chromosome studies showed a 45, X/45, Xdic(Yq) mosaicism. The identity of the dicentric Y chromosome was demonstrated by its typical fluorescent banding patterns. Histological evidence of mixed gonadal dysgenesis with intragonadal tumour was observed, confirming the occurrence of gonadoblastoma associated with mosaicism in ...
متن کاملDicentric Y chromosome in an azoospermic male.
We describe a 28 year old male with a pseudodicentric Y chromosome who suffered from azoospermia attributed to maturation arrest of the primary spermatocyte, as diagnosed by testicular biopsy. Chromosome analysis, using G, Q and C banding techniques, revealed an abnormal karyotype of 45,X[7]/46,X,psu dic (Y)(pter-->q11.2::q11.2-->pter)[33]. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) DNA analysis did not d...
متن کاملMeiotic and mitotic behavior of dicentric chromosomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Meiotic recombination between a circular and a linear chromosome in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been investigated. The circle was a haploid-viable derivative of chromosome III constructed by joining regions near the two chromosome ends via a recombinant DNA construction: (HMR/MAT-URA3-pBR322-MAT/HML) and was also deleted for MAL2 (which therefore uniquely marks a linear chromosome III). Recomb...
متن کاملSir protein–independent repair of dicentric chromosomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Sir2 protein has been reported to be recruited to dicentric chromosomes under tension, and such chromosomes are reported to be especially vulnerable to breakage in sir2Δ mutants. We found that the loss of viability in such mutants was an indirect effect of the repression of nonhomologous end joining in Sir(-) mutants and that the apparent recruitment of Sir2 protein to chromosomes under tension...
