The similarity of phenotypic effects caused by Xp and Xq deletions in the human female: a hypothesis 总被引:11,自引:4,他引:7
Summary We have collected from the literature adult nonmosaic women with the following aberrant X chromosomes: Xp- (52), Xq- (67), idic(Xp-)(10), idic(Xq-)(9), and interstitial deletions (12). Lack of Xp, and especially Xcen-Xp11 (b region), may cause full-blown Turner syndrome. However, individual Turner symptoms, including gonadal dysgenesis, otherwise seem to be randomly distributed with respect to the different Xp and Xq deletions, although breakpoints distal to Xq25 do not give rise to any phenotypic anomalies except in a few cases of secondary amenorrhea or premature menopause. Of the carriers of an Xp- or Xq- chromosome, 65% and 93%, respectively, suffer from ovarian dysgenesis, whereas all idic(Xp-) and idic(Xq-) chromosomes cause primary or secondary amenorrhea. Xq deletions do not induce specific symptoms different from those caused by Xp deletions. Lack of the tip of Xp has led in 46/52 cases to short stature, but 43% of the Xq- carriers are also short. To explain these observations, we propose the following hypothesis. Since deletions of truly inactivated regions do not seem to cause any symptoms, we assume that the b region (Xcen-p11) always stays active in a normal inactive X, but is inactivated in deleted X chromosomes, especially in Xq- chromosomes. In some cases, inactivation may spread to the tip of Xp; this would explain the apparently variable behavior of the Xg and STS genes, and the short stature of some Xq- carriers. Full chromosome pairing seems to be a prerequisite for the viability of oocytes and thus for gonadal development. Deleted X chromosomes necessarily leave a portion of the normal X unpaired and isodicentrics probably interfere with pairing, resulting in atresia of oocytes. The role played by the critical region (Xq13–q24) in ovarian development is still unclear. 相似文献

Summary Anonymous DNA probes mapping to human chromosome 16 and the distal region of the human X chromosome were isolated from a genomic library constructed using lambda EMBL3 and DNA from a mouse/human hybrid. The hybrid cell contained a der(16)t(X;16)(q26;q24) as the only human chromosome. Fifty clones were isolated using total human DNA as a hybridisation probe. Forty six clones contained single copy DNA in addition to the repetitive DNA. Pre-reassociation with sonicated human DNA was used to map these clones by a combination of Southern blot analysis of a hybrid cell panel containing fragments of chromosomes 16 and X and in situ hybridisation. One clone mapped to 16pter 16p13.11, one clone to 16p13.316p13.11, four clones to 16p13.316p13.13, two clones to 16p13.1316p13.11, one clone to 16p13.11, seven clones to 16p13.1116q12 or 16q13, four clones to 16q12 or 16q13, three clones to 16q1316q22.1, four clones to 16q22.10516q24, and nineteen clones to Xq26Xqter. Two clones mapping to 16p13 detected RFLPs. VK5 (D16S94) detected an MspI RFLP, PIC 0.37. VK20 (D16S96) detected a TaqI RFLP, PIC 0.37 and two MspI RFLPs, PIC 0.30 and 0.50. The adult polycystic kidney disease locus (PKD1) has also been assigned to 16p13. The RFLPs described will be of use for genetic counselling and in the isolation of the PKD1 gene. Similarly, the X clones may be used to isolate RFLPs for genetic counselling and the isolation of genes for the many diseases that map to Xq26qter. 相似文献

An 11-year-old girl with short stature, mental retardation, and mild dysmorphic features was found to have an inverted duplication of most of the short arm of the X chromosome [dic inv dup(X)(qterp22.3: :p22.3 cen:)]. Her mother, who is also short and retarded, carries the same duplication. Fluorescence in situ hybridization with an X chromosome library, and with X centromerespecific alpha satellite and telomere probes, was useful in characterizing the duplication. In most females with structurally abnormal X chromosomes, the abnormal chromosome is inactivated. Although the duplicated X was consistently late replicating in the mother, X chromosome inactivation studies in the proband indicated that in 11% of her lymphocytes the duplicated X was active. 相似文献

Summary An aberrant X chromosome containing extra material in the long arm was observed in a psychomotoric retarded boy and his healthy, short-statured mother. The proband showed generalized muscular hypotony, growth retardation, and somatic anomalies including hypoplastic genitalia and cryptorchism.Chromosomal banding techniques suggested a tandem duplication of the segment Xq13Xq22.In the mother the vast majority of lymphocytes showed late replication of the aberrant X chromosome. Some of her cells, however, contained an apparently active aberrant X. Both the early- and late-replicating aberrant X exhibited late replication patterns very similar to those described for normal X chromosomes in lymphocytes. Asynchrony of DNA replication among the two segments Xq13Xq22 in the dup(X) was never observed.We consider that the clinical picture of the proband is caused by an excess of active X material. 相似文献

Summary Two males and two females with different but overlapping deletions on the proximal long arm of the X chromosomes have been investigated. Their karyotypes, which have been well characterized by high resolution banding techniques, are 46,Y,del(X)(pterq21.1:: q21.33qter); 46,Y,del(X) (pterq21.2::q21.31qter); 46,X,del(X) (pterq21.31::q24.3qter) and 46,X,del (X)(pterq21.1:). A deletion panel, which makes it possible to subdivide the long arm of the X chromosome into seven subregions, has been established using the genomic DNA from the four families, and applied to the fine subregional localization of the loci for 22 DNA probes. Based on the results obtained, the possible location of the loci in question has been narrowed down considerably, in some cases to an area of only 5% of the previously assigned region; hybridization to Southern blots of a panel with well-characterized chromosome deletions is thus a powerful means of localizing DNA probes, especially with respect to the X probes.Part of the results from this investigation were published at Human Gene Mapping 9 as abstracts 相似文献

Genes for the ‘H’ subunit of human ferritin are present on a number of human chromosomes 总被引:6,自引:2,他引:4
Summary DNa has been extracted from hamster-human and mouse-human hybrid cell lines, restricted with EcoRI, and hybridised to a probe for the H subunit of human ferritin, pDBR2. Sequences highly homologous to this probe have been found on at least eight human chromosomes: 1, 2, 3, 6p216cen, 11, 14, 20, and Xq23–25Xqter. Only the gene on chromosome 11 appears to be expressed in these hybrids Southern blotting of DNA from somatic cell hybrids containing different subsets of human chromosomes. The study shows that H subunit sequences are found on at least nine different chromosomes. 相似文献

Summary Cytogenetic analyses have previously shown that the region Xq11.2–q21 is retained in all structurally abnormal X chromosomes. From these observations the conclusion has been drawn that this critical region on the proximal long arm of the X chromosome contains the locus controlling X-inactivation. Structurally abnormal X chromosomes without the X-inactivation center would allow nullisomy, disomy, or trisomy for genes on the X chromosome, and this condition is presumed nonviable. We studied a 28-year-old woman with primary amenorrhea and features of Turner syndrome who had an unusual isodicentric chromosome of the short arm of X. This patient provided us with the opportunity to more closely define the location of the X-inactivation center. High resolution chromosome analysis showed a 46,X,idic(X)(pterq13.2::q13.2pter) chromosome pattern in 94% of her cells and a 45,X complement in 6%. Replication studies showed this derivative X chromosome to be late-replicating (inactive) in all cells analyzed. DNA analysis confirmed the breakpoint of the isodicentric chromosome to be proximal to PGK1. Based on these results, the locus for the X-inactivation center can be refined to be within Xq11.2–q13.2. 相似文献

Short arm deletion of an X chromosome, 46,XXp- 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Summary A 27-year-old patient of short stature with primary amenorrhea and other slight Turner signs showed a 46,XX,del(X) (qterp11:) karyotype, identified by a combination of fluorescence and giemsa-banding technique. By BUdR incorporation the deleted X chromosome was shown to be the late replicating one. 相似文献

Summary Lymphoblastoid cell lines established from two individuals with apparently balanced translocations involving 11p13 were used for LDHA regional localization. The karyotypes were 46,XY,t(4;11)(q21;p13) and 46,XY,t(1;11) (p22;p13). In situ hybridization of a human LDHA cDNA probe to chromosome preparations from these cell lines resulted in specific labeling over bands p14p15 of the normal chromosomes 11 and over bands 11p1411p15 of the derivative chromosomes 4 and 1. These results exclude LDHA from any region proximal to 11p13 and localize the gene to 11p1411p15. 相似文献

Summary The inactivated X chromosome has a site of unusually frequent folding in region Xq1, whereas a fold in Xq1 is uncommon on the active X. We investigated the pattern of X chromosome folding in high-resolution GTG- and RBG-stained preparations from four women. In early metaphase cells, slightly more than 50% of late-replicating Xs folded at Xq1Xq21, compared with about 6% of early replicating Xs. The late-replicating X folded in about 80% of prometaphase cells; the early, in only about 14% of these cells. And the latereplicating X folded in 19 of 20 prophase cells. Occasionally, one X had an omega-shaped loop or apparent physical connection between Xq13 and Xq21.1. It is possible that a segment of Xq1 never completely uncoils and may help to provide continuity for the Barr body from one interphase to the next. 相似文献

A Y/5 translocation in a 45,X male with cri du chat syndrome 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Bernhard Weber Werner Schempp Ulrike Orth Heide Seidel Andreas Gal 《Human genetics》1987,77(2):145-150
Summary In a patient described as a 45,X male with cri du chat syndrome, combined cytogenetic and molecular methods revealed Y euchromatic material to be translocated onto the short arm of one chromosome 5, resulting in a chromosome der(5)(5qter5p14::Yp11.31Ypter). The translocated Y euchromatin comprised only the distal short arm including the pseudoautosomal region and the so-called deletion intervals 1 and 2. A review of 45,X males from the literature showed that; most of them carry a paternally transmitted Y/autosome translocations; resulting in various autosomal deletions. Depending on the segment concerned, the deletion led to congenital malformations. 相似文献

Summary In humans, the X chromosome inactivation center and an X inactivation-associated metaphase fold are at the same location (bands Xq1321) or are very closely associated. In other mammals, the location of the X inactivation center is unknown, but it has been suggested that the relationship between the inactivation center and the inactivation-associated fold may make it a useful marker for both identifying the inactivated X and locating the inactivation center in other mammalian species. If a similar metaphase fold is present in other mammals, the inactivation center would be located at the same site or very nearby. All of nine primate species did express an inactivation-associated fold. In most, the fold was located at the band homologous to human Xq13q21. In one of two chimpanzees, band Xq23q24 was implicated. In five other mammals an inactivation-associated fold was observed, but in two species, no fold was observed. 相似文献

The major cystic fibrosis (CF) mutation, F508, is associated with one haplotype (B) determined by the two polymorphic markers, XV2C and KM19. This haplotype is rare (15%) among non-F chromosomes. Its frequency among non-F508 CF chromosomes is 50% with variation between populations. One hypothesis for the high frequency of CF haplotype B chromosomes suggests that there was a selective advantage for CF mutations on this specific background as a result of epistatic selection at other closely linked loci. Since the XV2C and KM19 markers are located 200kb 5 to the CF gene and span only 60 kb, an extended haplotype analysis was needed to test this hypothesis. Haplotypes were determined for 183 CF and 120 non-CF Israeli chromosomes at the XV2C and KM19 loci and at three intragenic polymorphic sites (GATT in intron 6A, TUB18 in intron 19, and 24M in exon 24). Among the studied chromosomes the frequency of non-F508 CF chromosomes associated with haplotype B was 70% (88% among Ashkenazi CF chromosomes). Nine mutations (F508, W1282X, G542X, N1303K, 3849+10 kb CT, Q359K/T360K, S549I, S549R, and 1717-1GA) were identified among the studied chromosomes. These mutations accounted for 96% of CF chromosomes of Ashkenazi origin. Haplotype B was associated with seven of these (F508, W1282X, G542X, N1303K, Q359K/ T360K, S549R, and 1717-1GA). The extended haplotype analysis revealed that in five of the seven mutations associated with the haplotype B, 97% of the chromosomes shared the same intragenic haplotype, 212. The variation found in 3% of the chromosomes was only in the GATT repeat. Two mutations, W1282X and 1717-1GA, were associated with a completely different intragenic haplotype, 121. The results of this study indicate that grouping of CF chromosome by haplotype analysis spanning a small extragenic region might not be sufficient. In addition, the results of the extended haplotype analysis indicate that all the studied CF chromosomes that carry the same mutation derived from the same origin. Furthermore, the results indicate that the majority of the CF mutations are associated with the same extended haplotype, supporting the selective advantage hypothesis. 相似文献

Summary A 45,X karyotype was found in a boy with dysmorphic features, hypoglycaemia and pancytopenia. DNA analysis showed the presence of the Y-chromosomal DNA sequences SRY, ZFY, DYZ4, DYZ3 and DYS1. Using fluorescent in situ hybridization, we located DYZ4 and DYZ3 on chromosome llqter and concluded that a de novo translocation (Y;11)(q11.2;q24) with a deletion of 11q24qter and a deletion of Yq11.2Yqter were present; Jacobsen syndrome and azoospermia are associated with these deletions. Signs of Jacobsen syndrome were observed in the patient. 相似文献

Summary Gene dosage studies yielded results consistent with assignment of the locus for nucleoside phosphorylase to band 14q13. The red blood cells from a patient with the karyotype 47,XX,+der(14),t(8;14)(8qter8q24: :14q2114pter)pat had enzyme activity 50% higher than red cells from 47 normal controls, two trisomies involving chromosomes other than 14, and five balanced translocations involving chromosome 14. On the other hand, the red cells of a case with a karyotype 45,XX,-14,-22,+der(22),t(14;22)(14qter14q11 or 14q12::22p1122qter)mat and a case with a karyotype 47,XX, +der(14),t(14;16)(14pter14q11::16q2416qter)mat had normal activity. 相似文献

Summary The gene locus for steroid sulfatase, deficiency of which causes X-linked ichthyosis, is assigned to Xp11Xpter by analysis of 24 man-Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids. High steroid sulfatase,activity in a hybrid clone having retained only part of Xq is explained by demonstration of an additional late-replicating human X chromosome. This observation confirms previous evidence for noninactivation of the STS locus. 相似文献

Two sisters with a distal deletion at the Xq26/Xq27 interface: DNA studies indicate that the gene locus for factor IX is present 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Summary Two sisters with premature menopause and a small deletion of the long arm of one of their X chromosomes [del (X)(pterq26.3:)] were investigated with polymorphic DNA probes near the breakpoint. The deleted chromosome retained the factor IX (F9) locus and the loci DXS51 (52A) and DXS100 (pX45h), which are proximal to F9. However, the factor VIII (F8) locus was not present, nor were two loci tightly linked to this locus, DXS52 (St14) and DXS15 (DX13) This deletion refines the location of the F9 locus to Xq26 or to the interface Xq26/Xq27, thus placing it more proximally than has been previously reported. The DNA obtained from these patients should be valuable in the mapping of future probes derived from this region of the X chromosome. 相似文献

Summary A woman balanced carrier of a X/15 translocation gave birth to a balanced infertile son and three unbalanced Xp- fertile daughters. This family and the other eleven cases of Xp- fertile women found in the literature demonstrate that loss of the p21 pter region of the X chromosome is compatible with fertility, probably because it leaves on Xp the region which is never inactivated. 相似文献
