Genome-scale analysis identifies paralog lethality as a vulnerability of chromosome 1p loss in cancer. [PDF]
Functional redundancy shared by paralog genes may afford protection against genetic perturbations, but it can also result in genetic vulnerabilities due to mutual interdependency1-5.

Skewed X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) plays an important role in the phenotypic heterogeneity of X-linked disorders. However, the role of skewed XCI in XCI-escaping gene SHOX regulation is unclear.

Positional and functional mapping of a neuroblastoma differentiation gene on chromosome 11 [PDF]
Background: Loss of chromosome 11q defines a subset of high-stage aggressive neuroblastomas. Deletions are typically large and mapping efforts have thus far not lead to a well defined consensus region, which hampers the identification of positional ...

Abstractdel(20q) can be observed in hematologic neoplasms, including chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and has been reported in patients undergoing blast transformation. We describe 10 patients with CML in hematologic and cytogenetic remission with del(20q) detected by conventional cytogenetics.

SMC is recruited to oriC by ParB and promotes chromosome segregation in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
Segregation of replicated chromosomes is an essential process in all organisms. How bacteria, such as the oval-shaped human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae, efficiently segregate their chromosomes is poorly understood.

Prenatal diagnosis of a maternal 7.22-Mb deletion at chromosome 4q32.2q32.3 by SNP array
Background Although Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) is a powerful diagnostic technology for detecting chromosomal copy number variants (CNVs), it detects numerous variants of unknown significance (VUSs), which poses a great challenge for genetic ...

A case of prenatal diagnosis of 18p deletion syndrome following noninvasive prenatal testing
Background Chromosome 18p deletion syndrome is a disease caused by the complete or partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 18, there were few cases reported about the prenatal diagnosis of 18p deletion syndrome. Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT)

Detection of t(7;12)(q36;p13) in paediatric leukaemia using dual colour fluorescence in situ hybridisation [PDF]
The identification of chromosomal rearrangements is of utmost importance for the diagnosis and classification of specific leukaemia subtypes and therefore has an impact on therapy choices in individual cases.

A family case of fertile human 45,X,psu dic(15;Y) males [PDF]
We report on a familial case including four male probands from three generations with a 45,X,psu dic(15;Y)(p11.2;q12) karyotype. 45,X is usually associated with a female phenotype and only rarely with maleness, due to translocation of small Y chromosomal

Multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization on metaphase chromosomes and interphase Halo-preparations using cosmid and YAC clones for the simultaneous high resolution mapping of deletions in the dystrophin gene [PDF]
We report on multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization protocols for the simultaneous visualization of deletion-prone regions for carrier detection of Duchenne/ Becker (DMD/BMD) muscular dystrophy.
