Abstract

Testicular activity and semen characteristics of bulls carrying an X-autosome translocation t(Xp +;23q-) revealed all stages of spermatogenesis although their semen consisted of few and, exclusively, of malformed spermatozoa. Chromosome painting on metaphase spreads of their mother and synaptonemal complex analysis on these and normal bulls were carried out to test whether the location and meiotic pairing behaviour of the rearranged segments could have contributed to the sperm head malformation and oligospermia in our X-autosome translocation (X-AT) carrier bulls. Spermatocytes of X-AT carriers displayed the rearranged chromosomes in a univalent-trivalent association, with 23q- always remaining as a univalent and Xp + in synapsis with normal chromosome 23 and the Y chromosome. Chromosome painting studies to test whether the total absence of meiocytes showing a quadrivalent is due to the non-reciprocal nature of this translocation, identified Xp sequence homology with the distal end of 23q- confirming its relocation to the terminal segment of 23q-. Our synaptonemal complex analyses also confirmed that the bovine pseudo-autosomal region (PAR) is at the distal ends of Xq and Yp and further revealed that over 85% of spermatocytes o...Continue Reading

Ataxia telangiectasia (MDS)

Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare neurodegenerative diseases caused by defects in the ATM gene, which is involved in DNA damage recognition and repair pathways. Here is the latest research on this autosomal recessive disease.
