Absence of constitutive heterochromatin in a partially identified supernumerary marker chromosome.

چکیده
A retarded child with multiple malformations was found to have a karyotype 47,XY,de1(11)(11 pter leads to q21:), +mar(11 qter leads to q21::?). The mitotically stable centric marker had no demonstrable C heterochromatin. Phenotype-karyotype correlation and the role of C heterchromatin in phenotypic effects are discussed.

The First Case of a Small Supernumerary Marker Chromosome 18 in a Klinefelter Fetus: A Case Report
Small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMCs), or markers, are abnormal chromosomal fragments that can be hereditary or de novo. Despite the importance of sSMCs diagnosis, de novo sSMCs are rarely detected during the prenatal diagnosis process. Usually, prenatally diagnosed de novo sSMCs cannot be correlated with a particular phenotype without knowing their chromosomal origin and content; ther...
متن کاملFirst report of a B chromosome in a natural population of Astyanax altiparanae (Characiformes, Characidae)
Several species of the genus Astyanax have already been genetically studied, and B-chromosomes have been considered to be an interesting feature in some species of this group. In the present paper we report, for the first time, the occurrence of a B microchromosome in a natural population of A. altiparanae. This additional genomic element was identified as an acrocentric chromosome, similar in ...
متن کاملCytogenetic variation in farmed stock of Dybowski's sika deer.
The chromosome constitution of Dybowski's sika deer was studied on the basis of 15 samples obtained from farmed stock maintained in an enclosure. The diploid chromosome number was 2n=68, 2n=67 and 2n=66. The constitutive heterochromatin (C-bands) was located in the centromeric regions of all acrocentric chromosomes. Metacentric chromosomes were C-negative. Chromosomes of three pairs proved to b...
متن کاملChromosome restriction enzyme digestion in domestic pig (Sus scrofa) constitutive heterochromatin arrangement.
The bimodal karyotype of pig appears to contain two types of constitutive heterochromatin, reflecting different satellite DNA families: GC-rich heterochromatin located mainly in the centromeric regions of the biarmed chromosomes, and less-GC-rich heterochromatin in the centromeric regions of the one-armed chromosomes. In order to better discriminate this constitutive heterochromatin, we treated...
متن کاملH3S10 phosphorylation marks constitutive heterochromatin during interphase in early mouse embryos until the 4-cell stage.
Phosphorylation of histone H3 at Ser10 (H3S10P) has been linked to a variety of cellular processes, such as chromosome condensation and gene activation/silencing. Remarkably, in mammalian somatic cells, H3S10P initiates in the pericentromeric heterochromatin during the late G2 phase, and phosphorylation spreads throughout the chromosomes arms in prophase, being maintained until the onset of ana...
