erodium (geranaiceae) species are distributed in different habitats of iran. some species are of medicinal importance while some are well known weeds. there are no chromosome counts for erdoium species of iran. chromosome numbers are given for six taxa of erodium (geraniaceae) from iran: e. cicutarium (2n=36), e. ciconium(2n=18), e. malacoides (2n=20), e. moschatum (2n=20), e. neuradifolium (2n...

115 couples with consanguineous marriage, who had experienced reported abortions or still births either in their close relatives (3 couples) or themselves (1 couple) were exposed to genetic counseling (at the shahid akbarabadi hospital) cytogenetic studied were carried out using both conventional staining and g.t.g banding for all the cases studied. the investigation demonstrated various forms ...

Two general types of clonal chromosome abnormality are observed in de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML): the unbalanced aberrations with visible gain or loss of chromosome material and the balanced aberrations without such visible gain or loss. AML can be induced by therapy with cytostatic drugs and radiation. The alkylating agents reacting directly with DNA induce AML which often presents as m...

A family with an insertional type of chromosome rearrangement involving chromosomes 7 and 13 is reported. An interstitial deletion of a segment of chromosome 7 (7q32 leads to 34) had been inserted into the long arm of chromosome 13 at breakpoint q32. Segregation of this chromosome rearrangement gave rise to three subjects who were monosomic for the involved segment of chromosome 7. The karyotyp...

turner syndrome is one of the best known chromosome anomalies in human being, by an approximate incidence of 1/2500 female at birth. the cause is a chromosomal aberration, mainly with the karyotype 45, x. ninety six patients aged 6 to 26 years with short stature were studied for chromosomal anomalies. out of these 82 were phenotypically female and 14 phenotypically male. twenty seven showed abn...
