Sperm chromosome analysis in a man heterozygous for a paracentric inversion of chromosome 7 (q11q22)
Renee H. Martin 《Human genetics》1986,73(2):97-100
Summary Human sperm chromosomes were studied in a man heterozygous for a paracentric inversion of chromosome 7 (q11q22). The pronuclear chromosomes were analysed after in vitro penetration of golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) eggs. Ninety-four sperm chromosome spreads were examined, of which 34 contained the normal number 7 chromosome and 59 the inverted 6. This segregation was significantly different from the expected 1:1 ratio. The number of X- to Y-bearing sperm was 48 and 46 respectively. No sperm contained a recombinant chromosome caused by a crossover within the inversion. The frequency of chromosomal abnormalities in other chromosomes was 9.6%, which is not significantly different from the frequency observed in normal donors (8.9%) in our laboratory. These result suggest that the risk of chromosomally unbalanced sperm is not high for this paracentric inversion. 相似文献

Frequencies of formation of inversion loops and their relative sizes were studied in laboratory mice heterozygous at paracentric inversion In1(1)Rk in chromosome 1, depending on the genetic background. Homozygotes In1/In1 were crossed with mice from five inbred strains (A/HeJ, BALB/cJ, C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6J, DBA2/J). The frequency of formation of inversion loops, their relative sizes, and the dependence of these parameters on the stage of pachitene were analyzed on electron-microscopic slides of spread spermatocytes in first-generation hybrids. It was shown that the genetic background and cross direction statistically significantly influenced the duration of individual pachitene stages and the frequency of inversion loops, but not relative loop size. Using a database on SNP distribution in the inbred strains examined, we carried out in silico mapping of genes affecting the genotype-dependent characters. We have found that the efficiency of synapsis in the inversion does not depend on interstrain differences in homology of the chromosome 1 region involved in the inversion. Genes controlling the inversion loop frequency in the inversion heterozygotes were mapped to chromosome 7, and genes controlling the duration of individual pachitene stages, to chromosomes 2 and 5. 相似文献

Familial pericentric and paracentric inversions of chromosome 1 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Summary We investigated 33 individuals (21 carriers) from one family with a pericentric inversion involving a large part of chromosome 1 (1p36.11q32). In addition, we investigated 15 individuals (10 carriers) from another family with a paracentric inversion of a small part of chromosome 1(1p321p36.1). In each family, the index patient was ascertained because three miscarriages had occurred. Each carrier of these inversions was phenotypically normal. If the miscarriages of the index patients are excluded, the frequency of recognized miscarriages among the carriers of childbearing age was 9% (4 of 46) for the family with pericentric inversion and 17% (4 of 23) for the family with paracentric inversion. One of the pericentric inv(1) carriers had had a stillborn daughter. The carriers of the pericentric inversion who were of childbearing age had 41 children; carriers of the paracentric inversion who were of childbearing age had 19 children. No live-born children with birth defects were observed in either family. This evidence, together with the low frequency of miscarriages, suggests that crossover within the inversion loop occurs much less frequently than might be expected from the large size of this inversion. Our investigation suggests that the risk of recognized miscarriages, stillbirths, and live-born children with recombinant chromosomes who have birth defects may be much lower for inv(1) carriers than previously reported. The risk of having a malformed child because of a recombinant chromosome is probably less than 3% for carriers of the pericentric inversion and less than 6% for the carriers of the paracentric inversion. 相似文献

This review of paracentric inversions in man includes what we know of the behaviour and reproductive consequences of paracentric inversions from other species. Observations of naturally occurring inversions in several species of plants and animals and results of experiments with mutagenically induced inversions in the mouse are discussed. From a review of 184 cases, it is concluded that most of the paracentric inversions in man are harmless and that the risk of heterozygotes having a child with an unbalanced karyotype is low. However, in some cases, it is difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish between a paracentric inversion and a paracentric insertion, the risk in the latter case being about 15%. Caution is also necessary in interpreting the results of prenatal diagnosis for heterozygotes of paracentric inversions, because of the possibility of a variety of unpredictable unbalanced chromosome products. 相似文献

Homozygous paracentric inversion 12 in a mentally retarded boy: a case report and review of the literature 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Summary A mentally retarded male was found to be homozygous for a paracentric inversion of the long arm of chromosome 12(inv(12)(q21.1q23.2)). His parents, who are first cousins, and his phenotypically normal younger brother are inversion heterozygotes. Homozygous structural rearrangements are discussed and cases of paracentric inversions, including a further nine previously unpublished, are reviewed. 相似文献

A natural population of a tropical midge, Chironomus ramosus (Diptera: Chironomidae), was found to be polymorphic for a paracentric inversion (IV: 18C-19D). Based on the characteristic banding pattern of the fourth chromosome in the larval salivary gland polytene nuclei, individuals were classified as either structural homozygotes or heterozygotes. Isofemale lines were obtained and subsequently standard (S/S) and inversion (I/I) homozygotes were characterised by careful progeny testing in the laboratory. While exploring various biotic and abiotic factors that might be responsible for the maintenance of inversion polymorphism, we detected nematode (Family: Mermithidae) infections among the larval population. A detailed study indicated that the inversion polymorphism in the natural population of C. ramosus was apparently being maintained as a result of the selective pressure exerted by the nematode parasite. The corresponding pattern of increase and decrease in genotype frequencies and the relative fitness values indicated a selective advantage of inversion heterozygotes (S/I) over both homozygous types (S/S and I/I). Both empirical and experimental data suggest the strong heterotic nature of adaptation in this C. ramosus population towards nematode infection. This is the first report of its kind where inversion polymorphism has been shown to be associated with nematode parasitism. 相似文献

The evolutionary history of human chromosome 7 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
We report on a comparative molecular cytogenetic and in silico study on evolutionary changes in human chromosome 7 homologs in all major primate lineages. The ancestral mammalian homologs comprise two chromosomes (7a and 7b/16p) and are conserved in carnivores. The subchromosomal organization of the ancestral primate segment 7a shared by a lemur and higher Old World monkeys is the result of a paracentric inversion. The ancestral higher primate chromosome form was then derived by a fission of 7b/16p, followed by a centric fusion of 7a/7b as observed in the orangutan. In hominoids two further inversions with four distinct breakpoints were described in detail: the pericentric inversion in the human/African ape ancestor and the paracentric inversion in the common ancestor of human and chimpanzee. FISH analysis employing BAC probes confined the 7p22.1 breakpoint of the pericentric inversion to 6.8 Mb on the human reference sequence map and the 7q22.1 breakpoint to 97.1 Mb. For the paracentric inversion the breakpoints were found in 7q11.23 between 76.1 and 76.3 Mb and in 7q22.1 at 101.9 Mb. All four breakpoints were flanked by large segmental duplications. Hybridization patterns of breakpoint-flanking BACs and the distribution of duplicons suggest their presence before the origin of both inversions. We propose a scenario by which segmental duplications may have been the cause rather than the result of these chromosome rearrangements. 相似文献

In addition to the four classical inversion phenomena, meiosis in tetraploid paracentric inversion heterozygotes produces multiple dicentric and complex tricentric bridges which were previously little understood. Also formed are open loop chromatids which can give rise to dicentric chromosomes in the progeny. A qualitative and quantitative study of the first and second meiotic division in Gasteria nigricans var. crassifolia (Liliaceae, Aloineae) agrees closely with theoretical considerations. Breakage of dicentric bridges results in the formation of chromosomes carrying large terminal deletions. These are shown to be viable in the diploid gametes produced by tetraploids because of the buffering effect of the second haploid set of chromosomes. 相似文献

Paracentric inversion heterozygosity can be detected at pachytene by observation of frequent regions of asynapsis and reinforced by observation of the elimination of a chiasma in the region of the inversion at diplotene and by a low level of bridges and fragments at anaphase. We present evidence that paracentric inversion polymorphism can persist in a grasshopper population despite a low level of crossing over within the inverted region in heterozygotes. Lethality resulting from aneuploidy due to limited crossing over within the region of the inversion appears to be more than compensated for by heterosis. 相似文献

Paracentric inversions in man 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Summary The Leuven cytogenetic center experience on paracentric inversions in man is discussed. From a total of 51,000 patients, referred for constitutional chromosome analysis during the period 1970–1985, paracentric inversions were found in 18 index patients. A puzzling finding is the high incidence (26%) of mental retardation and/or congenital malformation in the inversion carrier offspring of phenotypically normal parents with identical chromosomal rearrangements. There was also a high incidence of early fetal loss in the inversion carrier parents. This finding may be explained by an increase of chromosomally unbalanced gametes which result from crossing-over in the meiotic inversion loop. Finally, the possibility of an increased tendency to non-disjunction in paracentric inversion carrier parents is discussed. The most frequent paracentric inversion was inv(3)(p13p25); it was detected in seven unrelated index patients. According to the present experience and the literature data, the breakpoints in paracentric inversions seem to occur preferentially at 1p22, 1p36, 3p13, 3p25, 7q11, and 7q22 regions. 相似文献

Zaprionus indianus, a member of the family Drosophilidae, is one of the commonest and most widespread species in India. It exploits a variety of fermenting fruits in nature. The nucleolar organizer regions (NORs), mitotic and polytene chromosomes were studied. A standard map of the polytene chromosomes has been constructed in order to locate break-points precisely for naturally occurring chromosomal rearrangements. Analysis of population samples of this species from four different geographical areas has revealed the presence of a single paracentric inversion in the second chromosome. Our quantitative data on the above inversion have confirmed the excess of inversion heterozygotes in nature. 相似文献

Sperm from mice of the PL/J strain have a high frequency of sperm-head morphology abnormalities. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) methods revealed that PL/J sperm are also characterized by a high frequency of aneuploidy. The traits of abnormal sperm head morphology and aneuploidy are associated with numerous meiotic abnormalities. Spermatocytes of PL/J mice exhibit chromosome asynapsis during meiotic prophase as well as reduced crossing over, revealed by analysis of both MLH1 foci in pachytene spermatocytes and chiasmata seen at the first meiotic metaphase. During the first meiotic division, roughly one-third of the PL/J spermatocytes exhibit aberrant spindle morphology, with abnormalities including monopolar spindles, split spindle poles, and incomplete spindle formation and centrosomal abnormalities. F1 progeny of a cross between PL/J and C57BL/6J did not exhibit a high frequency of either sperm aneuploidy or sperm head morphology aberrations, as would be expected if the PL/J traits were dominant. Among progeny of a backcross of F1 mice to PL/J, none of 16 males assessed exhibited elevated frequencies of sperm head morphology abnormalities. Four of the individuals exhibited elevated sperm aneuploidy, but not at the levels of the PL/J parents. Thus, it is likely that the aberrant PL/J traits are due to several genes and/or modifiers affecting the generation of both sperm aneuploidy and abnormal sperm head morphology. 相似文献

To investigate the basis of the sperm abnormality assay, studies have been made of the frequency of sperm abnormalities in the genital tracts of the progeny of irradiated males. Male C57BL/6 mice were irradiated (75-600 rad X-rays to the testes) and were then bred in the pre-sterile period to untreated C57BL/6 females. The sperm of their male progeny were examined for the frequency of sperm abnormalities. Variant males with clearly elevated levels of sperm abnormalities were more frequently seen amongst the progeny of irradiated fathers than with the progeny of sham-irradiated controls (10 in 170 compared with 2 in 188; P less than 0.02). Although no clear dose-response relation could be discerned with the number of animals studied, similar differences were observed with irradiated male SWR, C3H/He in inbred crosses and with C57BL/6 in hybrid crosses with C3H/He females. In contrast, matings of males made at longer times following irradiation did not lead to a significant increase in the number of affected progeny for the number tested. Breeding experiments with the affected F1 males showed that the sperm morphology defect could be transmitted in 7 of 19 cases. Parallel cytogenetic studies showed that 3 of the initial affected progeny had detectable reciprocal translocations and that in 2 of these cases the translocation was transmitted with the sperm defect. The studies thus showed that radiation can induce mutations that affect the levels of sperm abnormalities and that these mutations can be associated with reciprocal translocations. 相似文献

Three unrelated families with paracentric inversion of chromosome 15(q15q24) are reported. An additional pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 with breakpoints in p11.2q13 was also observed in one of the three families. Reproductive problems, such as stillbirths, spontaneous abortions and two live-born children with multiple abnormalities, were present. 相似文献

Mitotic chromosome studies carried out on newborn male infant with congenital abnormalities and on his family members showed that the father and paternal grandmother were heterozygotes for an unequal pericentric inversion. The child appeared to have inherited a recombinant duplication/deletion chromosome. The results of meiotic studies carried out on a testicular biopsy from the father were used to ascertain the risk of recurrence of chromosomal abnormalities in future pregnancies. A model is presented which permits the analysis of C-banded diakinetic chromosomes as to whether crossing-over has occurred within the inversion segment or not. In the present study, it was estimated that either one or two cross-overs had occurred in 52% of the cells within the inversion segment. This would result in approximately 26% of the spermatozoa carrying either one of two types of duplication/deficiencies of chromosome No. 4. 相似文献

Tobiano is a white spotting pattern in horses caused by a dominant gene, Tobiano(TO). Here, we report TO associated with a large paracentric chromosome inversion on horse chromosome 3. DNA sequences flanking the inversion were identified and a PCR test was developed to detect the inversion. The inversion was only found in horses with the tobiano pattern, including horses with diverse genetic backgrounds, which indicated a common genetic origin thousands of years ago. The inversion does not interrupt any annotated genes, but begins approximately 100 kb downstream of the KIT gene. This inversion may disrupt regulatory sequences for the KIT gene and cause the white spotting pattern. 相似文献

In general, carriers of paracentric inversions are phenotypically normal, although individual reports describe like occurrence of infertility, miscarriages and mental retardation in inversion carriers. We present a family with paracentric inversion of 1p [karyotype: 46,XY/XY, inv(1)(p13.2p36.2)] in 7 of the 12 investigated family members. The index patient, a four year-old boy was referred for motor and mental retardation. The possible relationship between the paracentric inversion and the MR/MCA syndrome in the index patient of this family is briefly discussed. 相似文献

The dependent combination of chromosomal variants by five paracentric inversions (IL1, IL2, IIR1, IIIR1, IIIL1) in Anopheles messeae population from the West Siberia was discovered. It is found that the inversion interactions interactions are the same at both larval and imaginal parts of the population, and they are stable during four years of studying. The inversion of hetero- and homozygotes demonstrates identical properties, that is, phylogenetic secondary sequencies dominate in heterozygotes. Two associative groups of chromosome variants were revealed. The association correlates with geographic distribution and temporal dynamics of inversions and on the whole, it reflects the evolutionary history of inversion polymorphism in A. messeae. It is supposed that the adaptive association of inversions found is the high degree polymorphism formed and functioned on the basis of the groups of inversion chromosome blocks. 相似文献
