Chromosomal defects are relatively frequent in infertile men however, translocations between the Y chromosome and autosomes are rare and less than 40 cases of Y-autosome translocation have been reported. In particular, only three individuals has been described with a Y;21 translocation, up to now. We report on an additional case of an infertile man in whom a Y;21 translocation was associated wi...

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 ...

a cytogenetic study was performed on 11 tetraploid cotton cultivars (gossypium hirsutum l.)including the oltan cultivar and its crossing progenies. the chromosome pairing and chiasma frequency, aswell as meiotic abnormalities were compared among the genotypes studied. heterozygote translocations withalternate orientation were observed between some of the chromosomes of the a genome and those of...

uniparental disomy (upd) is a situation in which both members of a chromosome pair are inherited from one parent. this study has been conducted on a family with a five year-old healthy girl and a mentally retarded boy. the parents were first cousins and they both had robertsonian translocation between their long arm of chromosome 13 and 14 [45, xy t (13q14q)]. their affected son had a similar k...

We are reporting a case of 47 chromosome complement with an extra rearranged chromosome 22pter→22qll:: llq23 → llqter in a child with multiple malformations whose mother has a balanced reciprocal translocation t(1l,22) with a history of two previous abortions. We emphasize the importance of family study in such cases.

background: translocations involving x chromosome and an autosome are rather rare due to associated infertility in men and subfertility in women. x chromosome translocations are frequently associated with primary or secondary amenorrhea. in this report, a case of primary amenorrhea with a de novo balanced reciprocal translocation was presented between chromosomes x and 1. case presentation: a 2...

rye (secale cereale) chromosome 1rs harbors multiple genes including lr26, sr31, yr9 and pm8 conferring disease resistance and tolerance to abiotic stresses. the introgression of the rye 1r chromosome short arm has enormously contributed to increase of genetic diversity in wheat. utilization of such translocations in breeding programs demands identification of wheat germplasm possessing the whe...
