Crinum asiaticum L. and latifolium are members of the family Amaryllidaceae. Karyomorphological studies these two species had been performed by using different quantitative qualitative parameters to know karyotype asymmetry, which defines advanced primitive nature species. The study revealed that diploid with 2n=22 chromosomes. based on Total Chromatin Length, Arm Ratio, Gradient Index, Form Pe...

BACKGROUND We previously found that a normal karyotype in a previous miscarriage is a predictor of subsequent miscarriage. However, the prevalence of recurrent miscarriage caused by an abnormal embryonic karyotype has not yet been reported, since embryonic karyotype is not typically analyzed during conventional examinations. METHODS A total of 482 patients who underwent both embryonic karyoty...

background : turner syndrome (ts) is a sporadic disorder caused by the absence of all or some parts one x-chromosome with major developmental consequences such as short stature and ovarian failure etc. the minor manifestations of ts are cubitus valgus, micrognatism, high-arched palate, short and/or webbed neck, hypothyroidism, etc. different karyotype abnormalities may lead to different clinica...

Rheum palmatum, one of the source plants of the traditional Chinese medicine rhubarb, is anendemic and endangered species. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the chromosome number and karyotype of this species. Sectioning combined with micrography was used to analyze the karyotype. The following results were obtained: R. palmatum had a stable chromosome number 2n = 22; the basic numb...

the karyotype of zagros tooth-carp, aphanius vladykovi (coad) has been investigated byexamining metaphase chromosomes spreads obtained from gill epithelial and kidney cells. the diploidchromosome number of this species was 2n=48. the karyotype consisted of 8 submetacentric and 40subtelocentric chromosomes (8sm+40 st). the arm number (nf) was 28. sex chromosomes werecytologically indistinguishab...

Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) is a rare benign placental abnormality. It is characterized by hydropic degeneration of stem villi, placentomegaly, and increased maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein(AFP). It can be associated with different congenital abnormalities, karyotype abnormalities, and feto-maternal morbidities. It is difficult to differentiate PMDfrom partial mole, complete mole wit...

introduction: most of the hematologic malignancies are heterogenous with regard to morphology, immunophenotype, and genetic rearrangements. multiple recurrent chromosomal aberrations have been identified by conventional cytogenetic analysis, which is now widely recognized as one of the most important diagnostic and prognostic determinants in these patients. patients and methods: bone marrow sam...

In this study, for the first time in Iran, the karyotype of bigmouth Lotak, Cyprinion macrostomum Heckel, 1843, was investigated through examining metaphase chromosomes of seven fish with mean weight 30±5g caught by electrofishing from Godarkhosh River in Ilam Province. To stimulate cell divisions, fish were injected intraperitoneally two times by phytohemagglutinin (PHA). The cell divisions we...

To evaluate the prognostic impact of monosomal karyotype on post-remission outcome in acute myeloid leukemia, we retrospectively analyzed 2,099 patients who had achieved complete remission. Monosomal karyotype was noted in 73 patients (4%). Of these, the probability of overall survival from first complete remission was 14% at four years, which was significantly lower than that reported in patie...
