Summary Two cases of the Langer-Giedion syndrome (LGS) are reported. Chromosome analysis by high-resolution banding with 850 bands revealed the same abnormal karyotype, 46,XY or XX,del(8)(q23.3q24.13), which was the smallest deletion among those of LGS patients with 8q deletion. The deleted segments found in three patients with LGS analyzed by high-resolution banding have a part of 8q23.3 and 8q24.11 in common.  相似文献

The critical segment for the Langer-Giedion syndrome: 8q24.11----q24.12   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
An 18-year-old intellectually normal male with characteristic features of the Langer-Giedion syndrome is reported. High resolution chromosome analysis showed a small deletion in the region of bands 8q24.11 and 8q24.12 in addition to an apparently balanced de novo translocation (2;9)(q21;q13). This finding provides additional information on the minimum deleted segment required to produce the Langer-Giedion syndrome and may indicate that deletions of this size or smaller are not necessarily associated with mental retardation.  相似文献

Summary The rare fragile site at 16q22 was experimentally induced in lymphocyte cultures with various AT-specific, non-intercalating DNA-ligands. The optimum conditions for the induction of fra (16)(q22) were determined. The best expression of fra (16)(q22) was found with the aromatic diamidine berenil which is recommended for further studies on this fragile site. The results indicate that fra (16)(q22) is a region with AT-rich, late replicating DNA. The simultaneous treatment of lymphocytes with berenil and aphidicolin (inhibitor of DNA polymerase ) induces both the rare fra (16) (q22) and the common fra (16) (q23) within the same chromosome. A population study on 350 unselected individuals showed that fra (16)(q22) is the most common of all rare autosomal fragile sites in man. The frequency of individuals heterozygous for fra (16)(q22) is 5.1% no homozygosity for fra (16) (q22) was detected. Statistical analysis indicates that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with respect to the fragile and non-fragile chromosomes 16.  相似文献

Del(8) (q24.11-q24.13) were detected in 3 patients with typical Langer-Giedion syndrome (LGS) and studied by high-resolution methods. Analysis of the literature strongly suggests the chromosomal ethiology of the LGS, because in all patients examined in detail a deletion of the segment 8(q24.11-q24.13) was revealed, which is critical for the LGS. Interrelationships between the LGS and two monogenic conditions-tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome type I and multiple exostoses are discussed. The possible role of c-myc oncogene in exostoses' (including those in LGS) origin is anticipated.  相似文献

The human type II collagen gene (COL2A1) was mapped to chromosome 12 immediately proximal to fra(12)(q13.1) by the technique of nonisotopic (biotinylated) in situ hybridization. Thus, the COL2A1 gene was confirmed to be at the subband 12q13.11----q13.12, in agreement with previous reports. These results are not in agreement with the localization (12q14.3) cited in Ropers and Craig (1989).  相似文献

Methotrexate (MTX) is one of the most important drugs for osteosarcoma (OS) treatment. To identify genetic aberrations associated with the development of MTX resistance in OS cells, in addition to the previously reported expression changes of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and reduced folate carrier (RFC) genes, comparative genomic hybridization (CGH)-based techniques were used. The direct comparison between MTX-resistant variants of U-2OS or Saos-2 human OS cell lines with their respective parental cell lines by CGH on chromosomes revealed that development of MTX resistance was associated with gain of the chromosomal regions 5q12-q15 and 11q14-qter in U-2OS variants, and with gain of 8q22-qter in Saos-2 variants. Further analyses by CGH on microarrays demonstrated a progressively increasing gain of mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) gene (11q23) in U-2OS MTX-resistant variants, which was also confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), in addition to gain of FGR (1p36), amplification/overexpression of DHFR, and slight decrease of RFC expression. In Saos-2 MTX-resistant variants, gain of MYC (8q24.12-q24.13) was detected, together with a remarkable decrease of RFC expression. Further analyses of DHFR, MLL, MYC, and RFC gene status in four additional human OS cell lines revealed that only gain of DHFR and MLL were associated with an inherent lower sensitivity to MTX. These data demonstrate that genetic analyses with complementary techniques are helpful for the identification of new candidate genes, which might be considered for an early identification of MTX unresponsive tumors.  相似文献

The chromosomal location of the rat interferon-alpha (IFNA) gene cluster was determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The fluorescent signals were localized to 5q31----q33. A previous report, using somatic cell hybrids, had suggested that the IFNA locus maps at a different region on rat chromosome 5.  相似文献

Amplification of 8q is frequently found in gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer. It is usually detected in high-grade, high-stage GEJ adenocarcinomas. Moreover, it has been implicated in tumor progression in other cancer types. In this study, a detailed genomic analysis of 8q was performed on a series of GEJ adenocarcinomas, including 22 primary adenocarcinomas, 13 cell lines and two xenografts, by array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) with a whole chromosome 8q contig array. Of the 37 specimens, 21 originated from the esophagus and 16 were derived from the gastric cardia. Commonly overrepresented regions were identified at distal 8q, i.e. 124-125 Mb (8q24.13), at 127-128 Mb (8q24.21), and at 141-142 Mb (8q24.3). From these regions six genes were selected with putative relevance to cancer: ANXA13, MTSS1, FAM84B (alias NSE2), MYC, C8orf17 (alias MOST-1) and PTK2 (alias FAK). In addition, the gene EXT1 was selected since it was found in a specific amplification in cell line SK-GT-5. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of these seven genes was subsequently performed on a panel of 24 gastroesophageal samples, including 13 cell lines, two xenografts and nine normal stomach controls. Significant overexpression was found for MYC and EXT1 in GEJ adenocarcinoma cell lines and xenografts compared to normal controls. Expression of the genes MTSS1, FAM84B and C8orf17 was found to be significantly decreased in this set of cell lines and xenografts. We conclude that, firstly, there are other genes than MYC involved in the 8q amplification in GEJ cancer. Secondly, the differential expression of these genes contributes to unravel the biology of GEJ adenocarcinomas.  相似文献

The distamycin A-sensitive fragile site fra(16)(q22) is a precisely localized chromosomal marker. When expressed at metaphase, it visibly separates the chromosome material on either side of the fragile site. Using a cDNA probe encoding both the alpha and beta haptoglobin chains, the haptoglobin loci were found by in situ hybridization to be distal to fra(16)(q22).  相似文献

Using a panel of bovine x Chinese hamster hybrid somatic cells, sequences homologous to genes spanning human chromosome arm 8q have been syntenically assigned in cattle. Thyroglobulin (TG), carbonic anhydrase II (CA2), and the protooncogenes MYC and MOS were assigned to a newly identified bovine syntenic group, U23. Additionally, in situ hybridization of the thyroglobulin probe to bovine metaphase chromosomes revealed this syntenic group to be on bovine chromosome 14 and the bovine thyroglobulin gene to reside at 14q12----q15.  相似文献

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) 16 and 18 are closely linked with human genital cancer. In most cervical carcinomas, viral sequences are integrated into the host genome. HeLa, a cervical carcinoma cell line, has multiple copies of integrated HPV 18 DNA. In this study, in situ chromosome hybridization was used to assign the integration sites of HPV 18 DNA sequences on HeLa cell chromosomes. Four sites of hybridization were identified at 8q23----q24, 9q31----q34, p11----p13 on an abnormal chromosome 5, and q12----q13 on an abnormal 22. Three of these sites correspond with the locations of MYC, ABL, and SIS protooncogenes, and are at or in close proximity to fragile sites. The chromosomal localization of HPV 18 DNA may be useful in assessing the role of viral integration in the development of this malignancy.  相似文献

From a clone containing the entire locus of human endogenous retroviral element ERV1, we have obtained a DNA probe that is specific for the 3' long terminal repeat (LTR) sequence. This probe was used to map the LTR of ERV1 by in situ hybridization to chromosomes from normal human blood lymphocytes. The LTR was found to be localized to the distal portion of the long arm of human chromosome 18, within bands q22----q23. This chromosome locus is near the constitutive fragile site at band q21.3 on chromosome 18 associated with the 14;18 translocations seen in follicular lymphomas.  相似文献

Palindrome-mediated genomic instability has been associated with chromosomal translocations, including the recurrent t(11;22)(q23;q11). We report a syndrome characterized by extremity anomalies, mild dysmorphia, and intellectual impairment caused by 3:1 meiotic segregation of a previously unrecognized recurrent palindrome-mediated rearrangement, the t(8;22)(q24.13;q11.21). There are at least ten prior reports of this translocation, and nearly identical PATRR8 and PATRR22 breakpoints were validated in several of these published cases. PCR analysis of sperm DNA from healthy males indicates that the t(8;22) arises de novo during gametogenesis in some, but not all, individuals. Furthermore, demonstration that de novo PATRR8-to-PATRR11 translocations occur in sperm suggests that palindrome-mediated translocation is a universal mechanism producing chromosomal rearrangements.  相似文献

Human chromosomal regions 8q23.3-q24.11 and 2q33-qter were microdissected, DNAs from the regions were amplified with the primer-linker method of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and their DNA libraries were constructed by cloning into pUC19. The primer-linker PCR involved Sau3AI digestion of microdissected chromosomal DNAs, ligation of the digests to a 10mer DNA linker and 24mer primer, filling the recessed 3' ends, and PCR amplification using the 24mer DNA as a primer. A total of 3.5 x 10(4) pUC19 recombinants (8q library) from the 8q region and 5.0 x 10(4) pUC clones (2q library) from the 2q region were obtained. From the 8q library, 60 pUC clones were selected, while 88 pUC-clones were selected from the 2q library. These clones were Southern blot analyzed on hybrid cell panels with or without human chromosome 8 or 2. Twelve (20%) of the 60 8q-derived clones were unique DNA sequences, and 9 were subjected to deletion analysis in the genomic DNA of two patients, one with trichorhino-phalangeal syndrome (TRPS) type I and the other with TRPS type II, both with del(8) (q23.3q24.13). Five of the 9 pUC clones tested showed a one-copy density in both patients, an indication that the clones map to the region deleted in both patients. Screening a genomic DNA library constructed in the phage revealed a clone with a 9.4-kb insert and a one-copy density in both patients. From the 2q library, 15 (17%) of the 88 pUC clones obtained were unique sequences. When a phage library was screened, 8 clones were obtained: 4 were identical and 2 were overlapping sequences.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Inherited Xq duplication due to a zygotic translocation t(X;X)(q23;q27)   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
An Xq-duplication was found in a female child with multiple malformations. The family study revealed that her mother, who has a nearly normal phenotype, carries the same duplication. The karyotype of the grandmother shows the existence of a mosaicism: 46,X,del(X) (q23)/46,X,dup(X)(q27----q23). This mosaicism can be related to a translocation t(X;X)(q23;q27) during the first cell division of the zygote.  相似文献
