Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a hematopoietic malignancy characterized by the presence ofPhiladelphia (Ph1) chromosome that results from balanced reciprocal translocation between chromosomes9 and 22 leading in the formation of bcr/abl fusion gene. The present study was conducted to evaluate cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities in CML patients at presentation and during the co...

Conventional cytogenetic is the standard technique for detection of Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Evaluation of abelson murine leukemia/breakpoint cluster region (abl/bcr) fusion using dual-colour fluorescence in situ hybridization (D-FISH) is an alternative approach allowing rapid and reliable detection of the disease. We employed the technique of interphase D...

introduction: fragile x syndrome (fxs) is one of the most prevalent genetic causes of developmental disability, representing the most frequent form of inherited severe cognitive deficit. the present study was undertaken to investigate fxs and its prevalence in moderate mentally retarded people in patients. materials and methods: nineteen people with moderate mental retardation (mr) who were cli...

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...

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the sixth most common malignancy in Iran. Cytogenetic analysis of leukemic blasts plays an important role in classification and prognosis in ALL patients. The purpose of this study was to define the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities of ALL patients in adults and children in Fars province, Iran.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we eval...

The study utilized molecular-genetic, cytogenetic, and statistical analyzes methods. A cytogenetic molecular genetic analysis of the inhabitants villages Amangeldy, Belbulak, in whose territory warehouses unused pesticides are located, was carried out. Residents Basshi village, on which there no products disposal pesticides, were taken as control. Cytogenetic showed a high level chromosomal abe...

ObjectiveTo test the hypothesis that telomere shortening and/or loss are risk factors for infertility.DesignRetrospective analysis of status in patients with infertility using conventional cytogenetic data collected prospectively.SettingAcademic centers.Patient(s)Cytogenetic slides cultured peripheral lymphocytes from 50 undergoing fertility treatment and 150 healthy donors, including 100 donor...

objective: approximately 15-20% of clinically recognizable pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion. the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in those abortions is as high as 50%.a modest but clinically important proportion of spontaneous abortions is caused by a balanced chromosomal aberration in one of the parents. this results from the production of gametes and embryos with unbalanced chrom...

background and objectives: primary amenorrhea is not a disease but a symptom that may result from several quite different causes[nn1] . common hormonal cause of primary amenorrhea includes constitutional delay, hypothalamic –pituitary dysfunction, chronic systemic disease and absent ovarian function. the aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of the chromosomal abnormality referred for...
