通过对患有闭经、自发流产、死胎、死产等患者外周血淋巴细胞染色体检查,发现16种新的罕见人类染色体异常核型,它们是46,XY,t(6;11)(q25;p15);46,XY,inv(3)(p25;q29);46,XY,t(7;18)(q10;p10);46,X,t(X;13)(q24;q14);46,XY,t(4;7)(q33;q22);46,XY,t(8;15)(q24;q15);46,XY,t(2;17)(q33;q25);46,XX,t(4;7)(q34;q11);46,XX,t(1;3)(p36;p23);46,XX,t(4;6)(q35;p11);46,X,inv(X)(q22;q28);46,XX,t(7;10)(p11;q26);46,XX,t(3;6)(p21;q23);46,XX,t(8;16)(p21;p13);46,XX,t(8;9)(q21;q34);46,XY,t(17;22)(q21;q11)。描述了患者的临床表现,并对生殖异常患者染色体畸变与其表型效应关系进行探讨。Abstract：By examining the lymphocytic chromosomes of peripheral blood from patients with amenorrhea,spontaneous abortion and stillbirth history, .the 16 rare species of human chromosomal abnormal karyotypes were discovered. They wre 46,XY,t(6;11)(q25;p15);46,XY,inv(3)(p25;q29);46,XY,t(7;18)(q10;p10);46,X,t(X;13)(q24;q14);46,XY,t(4;7)(q33;q22);46,XY,t(8;15)(q24;q15);46,XY,t(2;17)(q33;q25);46,XX,t(4;7)(q34;q11);46,XX,t(1;3)(p36;p23);46,XX,t(4;6)(q35;p11);46,X,inv(X)(q22;q28);46,XX,t(7;10)(p11;q26);46,XX,t(3;6)(p21;q23);46,XX,t(8;16)(p21;p13);46,XX,t(8;9)(q21;q34);46,XY,t(17;22)(q21;q11). Their clinical situation were described. Discussion on the relationship between the chromosomal aberrations and phenotype effect indicates the importance of chromosome karyotyping in patients with abnormal reproductive history.

A prevalent Y;15 translocation in the Ethiopian Beta Israel community in Israel

We describe 7 cases of abnormal karyotypes involving chromosomes Y and 15 in Ethiopian Beta Israel patients: 46,XX, der(15)t(Y;15)(q12;p12) and 46,XY,der(15)t(Y;15)(q12;p12). Six cases were incidentally found in amniocentesis performed for various indications; the indication for karyotyping in 1 case was recurrent abortions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of this translocation in a specific ethnic group. We conclude that the derivative chromosome 15 with chromosome Y is probably a normal variant in Ethiopian Beta Israel occurring at an estimated frequency of 4/74 (5.4%). The prenatal diagnosis of this translocation in this population probably does not require further parental testing.     

Transmission of a t(13q22q) chromosome observed in three generations with segregation of the translocation D1-trisomy syndrome.

A case of an inherited type of D/G translocation D1-trisomy syndrome was described. A female proposita who had the clinical signs of D1-trisomy syndrome was found to have a chromosome complement of 46,XX,--G,+t(DqGq). examination of Q- and G-stained karyotypes revealed that the chromosomes involved in the translocation were members of Nos. 13 and 22, or t(13q22q) with breaks at p12 of both chromosomes. C-stained figures also showed a large heterochromatin block in its centromeric region. The t(13q22q) chromosome was transmitted from the paternal grandmother of the proposita through at least three generations.     

A clinical and cytogenetic investigation carried out in a special institution for mentally retarded patients: preliminary results concerning 82 cases of oligophrenia (author's transl)]

A clinical and cytogenetic investigation carried out in a special institution for mentally retarded patients revealed 82 cases of oligophrenia, amongst whom were found 56 normal karyotypes (68.3%). Out of 25 karyotypes with chromosome anomalies or variants there were 18 cases of trisomy 21 and 7 others: one case of mosaicism with balanced translocation, 46,XX/46,XX,6p+,17q-; one case of partial trisomy, 46,XX,11q+; one case of pericentric inversion, 46,XY,inv(1) (p13,q21); one case with 8% chromosome breaks; three cases of marker chromosomes, of which one was of karyotype 46,XX,1qh+, and two (oligophrenic sisters) 46,XX,21p+. Moreover, there was an interesting case of testicular feminisation in a 9-year-old girl with karyotype 46,XY. The authors' results corroborate those obtained in several important previous studies based on much larger numbers of patients. Amongst the 56 cases where the karyotype was shown to be normal, there were 15 for whom a probably exogenic cause of the oligophrenia could be established, occurring mainly during the perinatal period. The authors were also able to confirm that the genetic factor plays an important role in the incidence of mental retardation, since in 22 examined patients, i.e. 26.8% of all cases, the condition was of familial type. Some interesting observations of idiopathic oligophrenia are reported, as well as several cases with well-known syndromes (Crouzon's and Cornelia de Lange's syndromes, hypothyroidism). Two cases of incest between father and daughter, which had produced children with serious oligophrenia associated, in one case, with deaf-mutism, microphthalmia, microcephaly and sclerocornea, are also discussed. The data show that mental retardation can frequently have a genetic cause, either of mendelian, chromosomal or multifactorial origin.     

A locus for isolated cleft palate, located on human chromosome 2q32.

We present evidence for the existence of a novel chromosome 2q32 locus involved in the pathogenesis of isolated cleft palate. We have studied two unrelated patients with strikingly similar clinical features, in whom there are apparently balanced, de novo cytogenetic rearrangements involving the same region of chromosome 2q. Both children have cleft palate, facial dysmorphism, and mild learning disability. Their karyotypes were originally reported as 46, XX, t(2;7)(q33;p21) and 46, XX, t(2;11)(q33;p14). However, our molecular cytogenetic analyses localize both translocation breakpoints to a small region between markers D2S311 and D2S116. This suggests that the true location of these breakpoints is 2q32 rather than 2q33. To obtain independent support for the existence of a cleft-palate locus in 2q32, we performed a detailed statistical analysis for all cases in the human cytogenetics database of nonmosaic, single, contiguous autosomal deletions associated with orofacial clefting. This revealed 2q32 to be one of only three chromosomal regions in which haploinsufficiency is significantly associated with isolated cleft palate. In combination, our data provide strong evidence for the location at 2q32 of a gene that is critical to the development of the secondary palate. The close proximity of these two translocation breakpoints should also allow rapid progress toward the positional cloning of this cleft-palate gene.     

Additional chromosome in a child as a result of a balanced reciprocal translocation t(12;18)(p13;q12) in his mother's karyotype

In this case report we present a child with an additional chromosome in the karyotype. The karyotypes of the boy and his parents were analyzed by use of a conventional banding technique (GTG) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Probes painting whole chromosomes 12 and 18 were used in FISH. Cytogenetic examination of the parents revealed that his mother was carrying balanced reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 12 and 18. Her karyotype was described as 46,XX,t(12;18)(p13;q12). Father's karyotype was normal, described as 46,XY. The boy's karyotype was defined as 47,XY,+der(18)t(12;18)(p13;q12). The additional chromosome appeared probably due to 3:1 meiotic disjunction of the maternal balanced translocation, known as tertiary trisomy. The mother displayed a normal phenotype and delivered earlier a healthy child. However, the boy with the unbalanced karyotype shows multiple congenital abnormalities.     

46,XX, der(15),t(Y;15)(q12;p11) karyotype in an azoospermic male

We report on a Yq/15p translocation in a 23-year-old infertile male referred for Klinefelter Syndrome testing, who had azoospermia and bilateral small testes. Hormonal studies revealed hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. Conventional cytogenetic procedures giemsa trypsin giemsa (GTG) and high resolution banding (HRB) and molecular cytogenetic techniques Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) performed on high-resolution lymphocyte chromosomes revealed the karyotype 46,XX, t(Y;15)(q12;p11). SRY-gene was confirmed to be present by classical Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) methods. His father carried de novo derivative chromosome 15 [45,X, t(Y;15)(q12;p11)] and was fertile; the karyotype of the father using G-band technique confirmed a reciprocal balanced translocation between chromosome Y and 15. In the proband, the der (15) has been inherited from the father because the mother had a normal karyotype (46,XX). In the proband, the der (15) could have produced genetic imbalance leading to unbalanced robertson translocation between chromosome Y and 15, which might have resulted in azoospermia and infertility in the proband. The paternal translocation might have lead to formation of imbalanced ova, which might be resulted infertility in the proband. Sister''s karyotypes was normal (46,XX) while his brother was not analyzed.     

A rare insertional translocation of proximal segment with heterochromatic region of 1q into 7p in monozygotic twins and spontaneous abortions

Summary We present a family identified through a healthy 20-year-old female with a history of multiple successive spontaneous abortions. Her karyotype demonstrates a rare balanced insertional translocation between chromosomes 1 and 7, 46,XX,dir ins(7;1)(p15.3;q12q21.3). This is the first reported case of a 7;1 insertional translocation involving the proximal segment of chromosome 1 and may well be the cause of the multiple spontaneous abortions in our proband.     

Origin of acrocentric trisomies in spontaneous abortuses

Summary A total of 33 spontaneous abortuses with various acrocentric trisomies were studied for the origin of the extra chromosomes using Q- and R-band polymorphisms as markers. Eleven trisomic abortuses were informative: nine trisomic abortuses (one with trisomy 13, three with trisomy 21, and five with trisomy 22 including one with a 46,XX/47,XX,+22 mosaicism) originated at maternal first meiosis; a 21-trisomic abortus resulted from an error at maternal second meiosis (or first mitosis); and a 13-trisomic abortus was of maternal first or second meiotic origin. The abortus with mosaic trisomy 22 started as a 22-trisomic zygote resulting from an error at maternal first meiosis, followed by a mitotic (in vivo or in vitro) loss of the paternally derived chromosome 22.     

Translocation (13q21q). Four generation family study with analysis of satellite associations, fluorescent markers, and prenatal diagnosis.

A (13q21q) translocation was found in an infant with Down's syndrome. The 17-year-old mother and the grandmother carried the translocation 45,XX,t(13;21)(p12;q11). The great grandparents had normal karyotypes. Fluorescence marker studies suggested that the translocation originated in the great grandmother. The hypothesis was supported by satellite association studies which showed a significant excess of 13-21 and 13-15 associations in the great grandmother.     

A cytogenetic survey of 200 unclassifiable mentally retarded children with congenital anomalies and 200 normal controls

Summary A cytogenetic survey was carried out on 200 patients with mental retardation and multiple congenital anomalies, and on 200 normal adult controls. Patients with a known syndrome were excluded from the survey. Chromosome analyses were carried out on blind-coded slides using the ASG banding technique as the routine stain. After the initial analyses (at least 15 cells per person) the slides were decoded, destained and reused for C and Q band polymorphism studies.Five major chromosome abnormalities were detected in the patient group during the survey. They included three patients with de novo, apparently balanced, reciprocal translocations, karyotypes 46,XY,rcp(3;16)(q21;p12); 46,XX,rcp(5;8)(p15;q22); and 46,XX,rcp(5;12)(p11;q24); one with karyotype 47,XX,+mar and one with karyotype 46,XX,der(13),t(13;?)(q34;?). One additional patient whose karyotype in lymphocytes was 46,XX,inv(9)(p11;q13) was found to have a mosaic karyotype 46,XX,inv(9)(p11;q13)/46,XX,inv(9) (p11;q13),der(12),t(12;?)(p13;?) in cultured skin fibroblasts. None of the 200 controls had a major chromosome abnormality.From the combined results of this and previous surveys it is now apparent that about 6.2% of the unclassifiable mentally retarded patients with three or more congenital anomalies and about 0.7% of the controls reveal major chromosome abnormalities.     

Translocation (13q21q)

Summary A (13q21q) translocation was found in an infant with Down's syndrome. The 17-year-old mother and the grandmother carried the translocation 45,XX,t(13;21)(p12;q11). The great grandparents had normal karyotypes. Fluorescence marker studies suggested that the translocation originated in the great grandmother. The hypothesis was supported by satellite association studies which showed a significant excess of 13–21 and 13–15 associations in the great grandmother.     

Inherited pericentric inversion of chromosome no. 2 with Robertsonian translocation (13q 14q) resulting in trisomy for chromosome 13q

This report includes a patient with an inherited pericentric inversion of chromosome No. 2 in addition to a Robertsonian translocation resulting in trisomy for chromosome 13q. The chromosomal constitution of the proband was 46,XX,inv(2) (pter leads to p11 : : q14 leads to p11 : : q14 leads to qter); t(13,14) (13qter leads to 13p11 : : 14q11 leads to 14qter). Sequential QFQ, RFA and GTG banding techniques were employed on the chromosomes of all family members. The chromosomal constitutions of the father and his first child were normal while the mother had an inversion of chromosome No. 2 [46,XX,inv(2) (pter leads to p11 : : q14 leads to p11 : : q14 leads to qter)]. The proband inherited this abnormal chromosome. In addition, she had a de novo Robertsonian translocation involving chromosomes 13q and 14q resulting in trisomy of chromosome 13q.     

Regional localization of alpha-galactosidase (GLA) to Xpter----q22, hexosaminidase B (HEXB) to 5q13----qter, and arylsulfatase B (ARSB) to 5pter----q13

Two series of somatic cell hybrids were made by fusion of human cells with karyotypes 46,X,t(X;2;15)(q22;p12;p12) and 46,XX,t(5;7)(q13;p15) and rodent cells. Chromosome and isozyme analysis of human chromosomes and gene products in the hybrids localized GLA to Xpter----q22, HEXB to 5q13----qter, in both cases narrowing the regional assignments, and ARSB to 5pter----q13.     

Double partial trisomy of 6p23-pter and 9pter-q21.2 in a neonate resulting from 4:2 meiotic segregation of a maternal complex t(6;7;9)(p23;p15;q21.2) translocation

We report, a newborn presenting multiple congenital abnormalities with karyotype; 47,XY,der(7)t(6;7)(pter-p23::p15-->qter),+der(9)t(7;9)(pter-->p15::q21.2--> pter)t(6;7;9)(p23;p15;q21.2)mat[20]. The mother and her phenotypically normal daughter were carriers of a complex chromosomal rearrangement with karyotypes; 46,XX,t(6;7;9)(p23;p15;q21.2)[20]. Paternal chromosomes were normal. In our case the extra derivative chromosome was the result of a 4:2 segregation of the chromosomes involved in translocation during oogenesis. Double partial trisomy in newborns resulting from 4:2 segregation is a rare event, and double partial trisomies of the 6p23-pter and trisomy 9pter-q22 regions have not reported to date.     

Mosaic 13 trisomy due to de novo 13/13 translocation with subsequent fission karyotype: 46,XX,-13,+t(13;13)(p11;q11)/46,XX,del(13)(p11)

Summary A severely retarded child with multiple malformations was found to present a mosaic karyotype 46,XX,-13,+t(13;13)(p11;q11)/46,XX,del (13)(p11), which probably originated as the result of a de novo 13/13 translocation in a parental gamete, followed by postzygotic fission of the translocation chromosomse.     

无精和严重少精症患者的遗传缺陷分析——-附2例世界首报染色体异常核型

对217例无精和严重少精症患者外周血淋巴细胞染色体核型进行分析,并采用聚合酶链反应对7例Y染色体结构异常患者的AZFc区进行检测。发现187例无精症患者中检出异常核型77例（41.18%）（其中46,XY,t(6;14)(p21;p13),46,XY,t(8;12)(p21;q24)为世界首报核型）,主要涉及染色体异常（数目异常和结构异常）;染色体异态（Y染色体异态和9号染色体臂间倒位）及46,XX性反转;30例严重少精症患者中检出异常核型4例（13.33%）（结构异常和46,XX性反转）。由此可见,性染色体数目和结构异常是精子发生障碍的主要原因,其次常染色体的某些断裂点也可能影响精子发生。AZFc区的缺失与否与精子发生也有直接关系。     

Two cases of partial trisomy 10q syndrome due to a familial 10;20 translocation

We describe an eleven day-old boy and his first degree double cousin who both have distal trisomy 10q syndrome. Their cytogenetic analysis using GTG-banding showed an unbalanced translocation 46, XY, -20, +der(20), t(10;20)(q22.3, p11) mat and 46, XX, -20, +der(20), t(10;20)(q22.3, p11) mat. The translocation was confirmed by FISH. We have found balanced translocation t(10;20)(q22.3; p11) with cytogenetic and FISH studies in the mothers and maternal grandfather of these children. Our cases had typical craniofacial and visceral anomalies of this syndrome. However case 1 had an agenesia of corpus callosum which was not previously described and case 2 had hypertrophied cardiomyopathy and cliteromegaly which were previously described as rare anomalies for this syndrome.     

131例原发性闭经女性的细胞遗传学分析(含世界首报异常核型3例)

原发性闭经是一种原因复杂的疾病, 染色体异常则是发病的主要原因。通过对131例原发性闭经患者的外周血淋巴细胞染色体的G带核型分析, 发现其中83例为正常女性核型, 占63.36%; 各种异常核型48例,占36.64%, 其中包括3例世界首次报道的异常核型[46,X,t(X;1)(q22;p34); 46,X,t(X;5;6)(p11.2;q35;q16); 46,XX,t(4; 9)(q21;p22),t(6;10)(p25;q25),t(11;14)(q23;q32)]。另外, 将33例Turner’s综合征患者的主要异常体征及核型分布分别与Elsheikh等的报道进行比较, 发现矮身材、蹼颈、后发迹低和肘外翻的发生率与文献资料存在显著差异, 说明东西方Turner’s综合征患者临床体征的表现可能存在差异。通过对2例X-常染色体易位携带者的分析, 认为Xp11.2和Xq22区域可能与原发性闭经有关。
