A paracentric inversion of 7q illustrating a possible interchromosomal effect.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A family is described in which the proband has a rearranged X chromosome involving monosomy Xp and trisomy Xq, while the mother has a paracentric inversion of chromosome 7. It is suggested that the phenomenon of interchromosomal effect may link these observations. A brief review of the published and computer catalogued data on paracentric inversion in man is included.

Oncogenic AKAP9-BRAF fusion is a novel mechanism of MAPK pathway activation in thyroid cancer.
Genes crucial for cancer development can be mutated via various mechanisms, which may reflect the nature of the mutagen. In thyroid papillary carcinomas, mutations of genes coding for effectors along the MAPK pathway are central for transformation. BRAF point mutation is most common in sporadic tumors. By contrast, radiation-induced tumors are associated with paracentric inversions activating t...

A 10 1/2 year old female with skeletal abnormalities was referred for genetic consultation because of learning disabilities and a suggestion of 'Turner-like' stigmata. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a paracentric inversion of an X(q13.1q26.1) chromosome.
متن کاملParacentric Inversions Found in Prenatal Diagnosis
Inversions are balanced rearrangements of chromosomes, and the vast majority of paracentric inversions seem to be harmless. The risk of having a phenotypically abnormal child for carriers of paracentric inversions due to the production of unbalanced gametes resulting from recombination during meiotic crossover has been thought to be low. However, a few cases of abnormal offspring due to classic...
متن کاملIntrachromosomal Rearrangements in Rodents from the Perspective of Comparative Region-Specific Painting
It has long been hypothesized that chromosomal rearrangements play a central role in different evolutionary processes, particularly in speciation and adaptation. Interchromosomal rearrangements have been extensively mapped using chromosome painting. However, intrachromosomal rearrangements have only been described using molecular cytogenetics in a limited number of mammals, including a few rode...
