Background and Objectives: studying chromosomal changes for anemia patients of children age (3month-12years ) in the city kut diagnosing those abnormalities resulting from having Methods: The chromosomes Patients to were analyzed studied using cytogenetic analysis detect aberrations caused by after collecting blood samples Al-Karama Teaching Hospital as well clinics Kut.Results: Chromosomal all...

background: ct scan and nuclear medicine exams deliver a great part of medical exposures. this study examined professional radiation hazards in ct scan and nuclear medicine workers.   methods : in a cross sectional study 30 occupationally exposed workers and 7 controls (all from personnel of a laboratory) were selected. physical dosimetry was performed for exposed workers. blood samples were ob...

Among 17786 karyotyres performed in our center,during 18 years (1357-1375),1300(7.3%) cases of chromosome 21 aberration,including 1284(98.77%) of Down syndrome have been detected.1191 of cases (92.76%) born free trisomy 21:61 cases (4.75%) revealed translocation and 32 cases (2.4%) showed mosaic pattern.among the pateints,59 had robertsonian translocation,2 had translocation between chromosome ...

introduction: infertility is a significant multifactorial disorder that can be caused by chromosomal abnormalities. in this study, we aimed to cytogenetically investigate male and female patients admitted to the genetic diagnostic laboratory of kayseri educational hospital in kayseri, turkey with varied clinical prediagnoses of infertility. materials and methods: chromosomes from cultured perip...

background: the secondary genetic changes other than the promyelocytic leukemia-retinoic acid receptor (pml-rara) fusion gene may contribute to the acute promyelocytic leukemogenesis. chromosomal alterations and mutation of flt3 (fms-like tyrosine kinase 3) tyrosine kinase receptor are the frequent genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia. however, the prognostic significance of flt3 mutat...

We review chromosome aberration modeling and its applications, especially to biodosimetry and to characterizing chromosome geometry. Standard results on aberration formation pathways, randomness, dose-response, proximity effects, transmissibility, kinetics, and relations to other radiobiological endpoints are summarized. We also outline recent work on graph-theoretical descriptions of aberratio...

The gametocidal (Gc) chromosome from Aegilops spp induces chromosome mutation, which is introduced into common wheat as a tool of chromosome manipulation for genetic improvement. The Gc chromosome functions similar to a restriction-modification system in bacteria, in which DNA methylation is an important regulator. We treated root tips of wheat carrying Gc chromosomes with the hypomethylation a...
