A female patient of normal intelligence with short stature and Madelung deformity is reported with Léri-Weill dyschondrosteosis and a de novo pseudodicentric X;Y translocation chromosome. The phenotype is consistent with the observed deletion of the SHOX gene by FISH and molecular studies. The Y chromosome breakpoint was in the short arm but proximal to SRY, consistent with her phenotypic sex. X-inactivation studies have shown a skewed pattern in favour of the dic (X;Y) chromosome. The ARSE gene was also deleted on the dic (X;Y) chromosome but chondrodysplasia punctata was not expressed, as CDP is recessive and ARSE escapes inactivation on the normal X chromosome. Breakpoint mapping assisted in karyotype/phenotype correlation and reproductive counselling. In particular, molecular analysis showed that the putative MRX 49 gene for mental retardation is unlikely to be deleted in this case. 相似文献

To assess the frequency of chromosomal aberrations in French candidates for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and to explore the existence of a female chromosomal factor in some cases of couple infertility, a collaborative retrospective clinical and cytogenetic study was performed, launched by the Association des Cytogénéticiens de Langue Franciaise (ACLF). The karyotypes of 3208 patients [2196 men (68.4%), 1012 (31.6%) women] included in ICSI programmes over a 3-year period in France were collected. A total of 183 aberrant karyotypes was diagnosed, corresponding to an abnormality frequency of 6.1% (134/2196) for men and 4.84% (49/1012) for women. The following frequencies of abnormalities were observed respectively for men and women: 1.23% (n = 27) and 0.69% (n = 7) for reciprocal translocations, 0.82% (n = 18) and 0.69% (n = 7) for Robertsonian translocations, 0.13% (n = 3) and 0.69% (n = 7) for inversions, 3.32% (n = 73) and 2.77% (n = 28) for numerical sex chromosome aberrations, and 0.59% (n = 13) and 0% for other structural aberrations. Among the male patients of this latter group, 0.40% (n = 9) had a Y chromosome abnormality. Among the male patients with numerical sex chromosome abnormalities, 2.23% (n = 49) were 47,XXY, 0.32% (n = 7) were 47,XYY, and 0.77% (n = 17) had a mosaicism for numerical sex chromosome anomalies. All the female patients with sex chromosome abnormalities (2.77%, n = 28) had mosaicism for numerical sex chromosome anomalies. Even if these cases-the significance of which was sometimes questioned-were disregarded in the analysis, 2.08% (21/1012) of abnormal karyotypes remained in women. An overall increased frequency of chromosomal aberrations was found, and this confirmed that in some cases of poor reproductive outcome there may be a contribution of maternal chromosome aberrations. Indeed, the existence of a chromosome abnormality in the female partner was associated with the group of infertile men in which there was no apparent cause of infertility. 相似文献

Cytogenetic and molecular investigations of Y chromosome sequences and their role in Turner syndrome
C. R. QUILTER K. TAYLOR G. S. CONWAY N. NATHWANI J. D. A. DELHANTY 《Annals of human genetics》1998,62(2):99-106
It has been proposed that all live born females with Turner syndrome carry a cell line containing two sex chromosomes, which may be present at a low level of mosaicism (Hook & Warburton, 1983; Hassold et al . 1985; 1988; Connor & Loughlin, 1989). If the second sex chromosome is a Y, these patients are at risk of developing gonadoblastoma. In this study, 50 patients found to have a 45,X karyotype by conventional cytogenetic analysis, were screened by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for the presence of Y chromosome sequences. Two patients were positive for six of the eight Y chromosome loci tested and additional cytogenetic analysis confirmed the presence of a marker chromosome, in 8% and 3% of cells respectively. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to confirm that the markers were of Y chromosome origin and helped to elucidate their structure. In addition, four other patients were found to have a Y chromosome by initial routine cytogenetic analysis. FISH, in conjunction with PCR, elucidated the structure of the Y chromosomes. This study illustrates the value of using a combination of cytogenetic and molecular techniques, to identify Y chromosome sequences in Turner syndrome. 相似文献

Mitotic and meiotic behaviour of a naturally transmitted ring Y chromosome: reproductive risk evaluation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
BACKGROUND: The mitotic and meiotic behaviour of a transmitted ring Y [r(Y)] chromosome from a father to his Klinefelter syndrome (KS) son, and the mechanism of ring formation are analysed herein. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of natural transmission of an r(Y). METHODS AND RESULTS: Amplification of X chromosome polymorphisms by PCR showed that the KS was of paternal origin. G-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies revealed a similar percentage of mosaicism in father and son by mitotic loss of r(Y). SRY gene and Y marker amplification by PCR, FISH with subtelomeric probes for Xp/Yp and Xq/Yq, and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analyses indicated the intactness of the Y chromosome from SRY to subtelomere Yq. FISH analysis of sperm from the father showed significantly higher frequencies (P<0.005) for diploidy and for 6, 13, 18, 21, 22, XX, XY disomies than those observed in control donors. CONCLUSIONS: An r(Y) with low material loss can be naturally transmitted, showing similar mitotic behaviour in the offspring. The presence of an r(Y) chromosome in germinal cells increased the risk of fathering offspring with numerical abnormalities, even for chromosomes not involved in the arrangement. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Y chromosome microdeletions are known to impair spermatogenesis. Screenings for these microdeletions are performed mostly in patients with sperm count abnormalities. METHODS: We have screened the Y chromosome of 80 infertile patients with sperm morphological abnormalities. DNA from sperm, peripheral blood or single sperm following multiple displacement amplification (MDA) was utilized to amplify 20 specific sequence-tagged sites (STS) by PCR. RESULTS: Y chromosome microdeletions were detected in sperm DNA from four of the teratozoospermic patients; while none of the 53 men with normal sperm morphology had any deletions. Two of the four patients with deletions also provided peripheral blood and a fresh semen sample. Both patients had none of the STS deleted in the peripheral blood DNA. Y chromosome microdeletion analysis in the MDA amplified SRY-positive single sperm DNA confirmed the presence of the same deletion in all 10 sperm for one patient and eight out of 10 sperm in the second patient. CONCLUSIONS: Our observations suggest that some of the teratozoospermia might be related to gonadal mosaic Y chromosome microdeletions. Gonadal mosaicism can be a source of de novo transmissions of Y chromosome microdeletions. The application of MDA can yield enough DNA from a single sperm for genetic analyses. 相似文献

We combined conventional cytogenetic analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization of short-term cultures of 28 samples from benign prostatic hyperplasia. Lou of the Y chromosome was the most common chromosome change, followed by trisomy 7. Trisomy 7, however, may be unrelated to the origin of benign prostate hyperplasia, in which the only and not very specific change seems to be the loss of the Y chromosome.

Complex chromosome rearrangements are rare aberrations that frequently lead to reproductive failure and that may hinder assisted reproduction. A 25-year-old azoospermic male was studied cytogenetically with synaptonemal complex analysis of spermatocytes from a testicular biopsy and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of lymphocytes. The spermatocytes showed a pentavalent plus a univalent chromosome. Cell death occurred mainly at advanced pachytene stages. The sex chromosomes were involved in the multiple, as shown by their typical axial excrescences. Two autosomal pairs, including an acrocentric chromosome (15), were also involved in the multiple. FISH allowed the definite identification of all the involved chromosomes. An inverted chromosome 12 is translocated with most of one long arm of chromosome 15, while the centromeric piece of this chromosome 15 is translocated with Yqh, forming a small marker chromosome t(15;Y). The euchromatic part of the Y chromosome is joined to the remaining piece of chromosome 12, forming a neo-Y chromosome. The patient shows azoospermia and a normal phenotype. The disruption of spermatogenesis is hypothetically due to the extent of asynaptic segments and to sex-body association during pachytene. This CCR occurred 'de novo' during paternal spermatogenesis. Meiotic analysis and FISH are valuable diagnostic tools in these cases. 相似文献

Karyotypes of the Tago brown frog Rana tagoi and stream Tago brown frog Rana sakuraii from a mountain region in the Nishitama
district in Tokyo were examined by conventional Giemsa staining, C-banding and late replication (LR)-banding. Chromosome number
was 2n = 26 in all cases. The 26 chromosomes consisted of five (1–5) pairs of large chromosomes and eight (6–13) pairs of
small chromosomes. Chromosome 10 had a secondary constriction on the long arm. In all frogs, on chromosome pair 8, the XX/XY
type sex chromosome was present. C-banding analysis indicated that, in R. sakuraii, neither the X nor Y chromosome possessed
interstitial C-bands but each had centromere staining, while in R. tagoi, an interstitial C-band was present on the long arm
of the X chromosome. The Y chromosome had no interstitial C-band. LR-banding analysis demonstrated the X and Y chromosomes
to have a LR-band on the short arm and two LR-bands, each on the long arm, and the bands on both species to be essentially
the same. Heteromorphic sex chromosomes in males of R. sakuraii and R. tagoi were identified for the first time in this study.

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to estimate the frequency of Y chromosome microdeletions in the Slovenian population of infertile men and to analyse the consequences of mutation in respect to clinical severity and prognosis. METHODS: In a controlled clinical study at the university-based medical genetics service and infertility clinic, 226 infertile men undergoing ICSI were tested. The main outcome measures included polymerase chain reaction amplification of 16 genes and gene families and 42 sequence-tagged sites in the non-recombining region of the Y chromosome, semen, testicular volume and testicular histological analysis, serum FSH concentrations, fertilization and respective pregnancy rates. RESULTS: The incidence of deletions was 4.4%: 8.6% in men with azoospermia and 1.5% in men with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. Isolated gene deletions were not identified. No statistically significant differences in clinical outcome measures were found in patients with mutations versus patients without mutations. High fertilization (49%) and pregnancy (43%) rates with sperm of patients with Y chromosome deletions were obtained. CONCLUSIONS: Testing for gene-specific microdeletions does not contribute significantly to the sensitivity of microdeletion test. Fertilization and pregnancy rates obtained using sperm of patients with Y chromosome deletions were comparable with those achieved in conventional IVF. 相似文献

Two cases of rare structural aberrations of the Y chromosome were detected: a del(Y) (q12) chromosome in a child with mild dysmorphic features, obesity and psychomotor delay, and two identical satellited Y chromosomes (Yqs) in a normal twin, which were originally observed during routine prenatal diagnosis. In both cases a Yqs chromosome was detected in the father which had arisen from a reciprocal translocation involving the short arm of chromosome 15 and the heterochromatin of the long arm of the Y chromosome (Yqh). Cytogenetic and molecular studies demonstrated that in the reciprocal product of chromosomes 15 and Y PAR2 could not be detected, showing that PAR2 had been deleted. It is discussed whether the translocation of the short arm of an acrocentric chromosome to the heterochromatin of the long arm of the Y chromosome causes instability of this region which results either in loss of genetic material or interference with the normal mechanism of disjunction. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Y-autosome (Y/A) translocations have been reported in association with male infertility. Different hypotheses have been made as to correlations between Y/A translocations and spermatogenetic disturbances. We describe an azoospermic patient with a de-novo Y;14 translocation: 45,X,dic(Y;14)(q12;p11). METHODS AND RESULTS: Cytogenetic, fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) and molecular studies have been performed. A 14/22 (D14Z1/D22Z1) centromere and a Y centromere (DYZ1) probe both showed a signal on the translocation chromosome, confirming its dicentricity. Each copy of the translocation chromosome had only one primary constriction, with inactivation of the Y centromere in most (90%) of the cells. The 14 centromere was inactive in the remaining cells (10%). FISH and molecular deletion mapping analysis allowed acute assignment of the Yq breakpoint to the junction of euchromatin and heterochromatin (Yq12), distal to the AZF gene location (Yq11). CONCLUSIONS: This study supports the hypothesis that in Y/A translocations infertility might be related to meiotic disturbances with spermatogenetic arrest. In addition, sex chromosome molecular investigations, performed on single spermatids, suggest a highly increased risk of producing chromosomally abnormal embryos. 相似文献

(Y;autosome) translocations have been reported in association with male infertility. Different mechanisms have been suggested to explain the male infertility, such as deletion of the azoospermic factor (AZF) on the long arm of the Y chromosome, or meiosis impairment. We describe a new case with a de novo unbalanced translocation t(Y;22) and discuss the genotype-phenotype correlation. A 36 year old male with azoospermia was found to have a mosaic 45,X/46,X, + mar karyotype. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) showed the presence of a derivative Y chromosome containing the short arm, the centromere and a small proximal part of the long-arm euchromatin of the Y chromosome and the long arm of chromosome 22. The unstable small marker chromosome included the short arm and the centromere of chromosome 22. This unbalanced translocation t(Y;22)(q11.2;q11.1) generated the loss of the long arm of the Y chromosome involving a large part of AZFb, AZFc and Yq heterochromatin regions. Testicular tissue analyses showed sperm in the wet preparation. Our case shows the importance of documenting (Y;autosome) translocations with molecular and testicular tissue analyses. 相似文献

We have applied non-isotopic in situ hybridization (ISH) to interphase cell nuclei of 23 phaeochromocytomas (18 primary and 5 metastatic tumours) within routine paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Each tumour was screened for numerical aberrations with a defined alphoid repetitive DNA probe set containing DNA probes specific for chromosomes 1, 7, 15, and Y. Normal adrenal medullas and other normal human cell types served as cytogenetic controls. Preservation of tissue morphology enabled targeted analysis of tumour cells. The presence of numerical chromosome changes in the tumour cells could easily be evaluated by comparing the ISH results of the DNA probes. Numerical abnormalities not previously reported in this neoplasm included overrepresentation of chromosomes 1 and 7, loss of chromosome 15, and both gain and loss of chromosome Y (P values <0.01). The percentage of aneuploid cell nuclei in a tumour correlated well with the percentage of cells in the 4C peak of flow cytometric DNA histograms from these neoplasms. We conclude that interphase ISH can be used for the identification of new and reported cytogenetic changes in tumour cell nuclei within archival tissue sections. This novel procedure also allows for retrospective analysis of previously not karyotyped material. 相似文献

Protocadherin11 is located on both the X and Y chromosomes in Homo sapiens but only on the X chromosome in other hominid species. The pairing of PCDH11Y with PCDH11X arose following a duplicative 3.5 Mb translocation from the ancestral X chromosome to the Y chromosome several million years ago. The genes are highly expressed in fetal brain and spinal cord. The evolutionary consequence of this duplication has been proposed to include the sexual dimorphism of cerebral asymmetry and the hominid specific transition to the capacity for language. We report a case of a male child referred for genetic investigation of severe language delay. Microarray analysis indicated the presence of a 220 Kb intragenic deletion at Xq21.31 involving the PCDH11X gene. Fluorescence in situ hybridization using a BAC probe mapping to intron 2 of the Protocadherin11X/Y gene pair confirmed loss of the locus on both the X and Y chromosomes. The X chromosome deletion was maternally inherited, but the Y chromosome deletion was found to be a de novo occurrence in this child. This finding lends support to the hypothesis that the Protocadherin11X/Y gene plays a role in language development in humans and that rare copy number variation is a possible mechanism for communication disorders. © 2011 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMCs) in Turner syndrome are mostly derived from the Y chromosome 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

DNA and FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) analysis were carried out in 12 patients with stigmata of Turner syndrome to determine whether the Supernumerary M arker C hromosome (SMC) found cytogenetically in each of these patients was derived from the Y chromosome. The presence of a Y chromosome in these patients may predispose them to develop gonadoblastoma. PCR-Southern blot analysis, followed by FISH, was used to detect the presence of Y chromosome material. The S ex determining R egion Y (SRY), T estis S pecific P rotein Y -encoded (TSPY) and Y -chromosome R NA R ecognition M otif (YRRM) genes, which map at Yp11.31, Yp11.1–11.2 and Yp11.2/Yq11.21–11.23, respectively, were selected as markers, because they span the whole Y chromosome, and more importantly, they are considered to be involved in the development of gonadoblastoma. It was shown that in 12 patients, all of whom had an SMC, the SMC of 11 was derived from the Y chromosome. Furthermore, the presence of the SRY, TSPY and YRRM gene sequences was determined and FISH analysis confirmed the Y origin of the SMCs. The methodology described in this report is a rapid, reliable and sensitive approach which may be easily applied to determine the Y origin of an SMC carried in Turner syndrome. The identification of an SMC is important for the clinical management and prognostic counseling of these patients with Turner syndrome. 相似文献

Monosomy 1p36 is a relatively common chromosome deletion. Deletion of this chromosome band can be difficult to visualize using routine cytogenetic banding techniques. The use of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with telomere region-specific probes has aided in the diagnosis of patients. In this study we ascertained 62 patients with deletions of 1p36 from 61 families and collected information regarding previous chromosome analyses, mode of ascertainment, clinical indication, age at diagnosis, and parental ages. The majority of deletions occur on the maternally derived chromosome. We identified terminal deletions, interstitial deletions, derivative chromosomes, and complex rearrangements. We correlated the type of rearrangement with the parental origins. Almost 50% of the patients had at least one chromosome analysis interpreted as normal. Retrospectively, 98% of deletions could be identified by routine chromosome analysis with careful attention to chromosome 1p36. Clinical indications were variable, with developmental delay/mental retardation being the most common. Increased maternal serum alpha fetoprotein (MSAFP) was detected in four of the five prenatally diagnosed cases. Maternal age at the time of birth of the affected child was significantly lower than the general United States population mean. We suggest a multistep approach for the diagnosis and clinical evaluation in cases of monosomy 1p36. 相似文献
