Nance‐Horan Syndrome: Further Delineation of the Affected Male and the Female Carrier Phenotypes
ABSTRACT Nance‐Horan syndrome (NHS; OMIM 302350) is a rare, X‐linked syndrome characterized by bilateral congenital cataracts leading to profound vision loss, specific dental anomalies including characteristic screwdriver blade‐shaped incisors, facial anomalies, and intellectual disability.

New Insights on Chromosome Diversification in Malagasy Chameleons
In this work, we performed a preliminary molecular analysis and a comparative cytogenetic study on 5 different species of Malagasy chameleons of the genus Brookesia (B. superciliaris) and Furcifer (F. balteautus, F. petteri, F. major and F. minor). A DNA

Chromosome complement and meiosis in three species of the Neotropical bug genus Antiteuchus (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae, Discocephalinae) [PDF]
Orcein staining of spermatocytes was used to study the meiotic behavior of holocentric chromosomes in three member of the genus Antiteuchus (commonly known as stink bugs). We describe and illustrate the karyotype of Antiteuchus mixtus, A. sepulcralis and

Cold Fusion: Massive Karyotype Evolution in the Antarctic Bullhead Notothen Notothenia coriiceps
Half of all vertebrate species share a series of chromosome fusions that preceded the teleost genome duplication (TGD), but we do not understand the causative evolutionary mechanisms.

ABSTRACT We describe a novel homozygous intragenic deletion in the ALS2 gene in an 8‐year‐old boy with Infantile‐onset Ascending Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (IAHSP) and oculomotor apraxia, thereby contributing to the expanding genetic landscape of ALS2‐related disorders.

Genomic insights into karyotype evolution and adaptive mechanisms in Polygonaceae species
Summary: Polygonaceae, with ecological versatility and global distribution, is an ideal system for investigating plant adaptation. However, the genomic mechanisms underlying its karyotype evolution and environmental resilience remain unclear.

Karyotype of Hynobius fucus Lai et Lue, 2008, a salamander endemic to Taiwan with comments in memory of June-Shian Lai, a pioneer in studies of mountainous salamanders (Urodela, Hynobiidae) [PDF]
The chromosome number of Hynobius fucus was found by Lai and Lue (2008) to be 2n = 58, displaying a karyomorph similar to those previously reported in stream-type salamanders from Taiwan.

Duplex DNA from Sites of Helicase-Polymerase Uncoupling Links Non-B DNA Structure Formation to Replicative Stress [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Replication impediments can produce helicase-polymerase uncoupling allowing lagging strand synthesis to continue for as much as 6 kb from the site of the impediment.

Karyotype evolution and speciation in Orthoptera
Abstract Karyotype evolution might fuel speciation and can thereby contribute to species diversity. To test the hypothesis that speciation and karyotype change are linked, we estimated anagenetic and cladogenetic rates of karyotype evolution as well as speciation rates in Orthoptera. We compiled the male diploid chromosome number and the
