Abstract

To study the meiotic behaviour of one carrier of a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC): 47,XY,+mar; one carrier of a Robertsonian translocation (ROB): 45,XY,rob(13;21) (q10;q10); and one carrier of both a sSMC and a ROB: 46,XY,rob(13;21) (q11.1;q11.1),+mar. Case-control study. University-affiliated research center and hospital. Subfertile men with ROB and sSMC. None. The chromosomal origin of the sSMC was assessed by multiplex fluorescence in situ hybridization. The segregation of the ROB and sSMC in sperm and possible interchromosomal effects were examined by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Synapsis, meiotic recombination, and meiotic inactivation were investigated in ejaculate spermatocytes of the 47,XY,+mar and 45,XY,rob(13;21) carriers using immunostaining. In the 47,XY,+mar and 46,XY,rob(13;21),+mar carriers, the sSMC was found in 13.5% and 11.5 % of sperm, respectively. Analysis of meiotic segregation of chromosome 13 and 21 showed that 91.2% of sperm were normal/balanced in the 46,XY,rob(13;21),+mar case, whereas 88.4% of sperm were normal/balanced in the 45,XY,rob(13;21) case. Interchromosomal effects involving the sex chromosomes were found in both sSMC carriers. Both 47,XY,+mar and 45,XY,rob(13;21) carrie...Continue Reading

Breast Cancer: BRCA1 & BRCA2

Mutations involving BRCA1, found on chromosome 17, and BRCA2, found on chromosome 13, increase the risk for specific cancers, such as breast cancer. Discover the last research on breast cancer BRCA1 and BRCA2 here.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
