Hybridization studies were carried out to determine the extent of divergence between different members of the Enterobacteriaceae and group D, previously described by numerical analysis of phenotypic characters, and comprising strains isolated from surface waters. This group, apparently belonging in

β¦ Synopsis
A phenotypically normal male with azoospermia was found to have a translocation between the short arm of the Y chromosome and the distal long arm of a chromosome 4. By cytogenetic analysis it could not be determined whether the translocation was reciprocal, nor whether it was balanced. In situ DNA hybridization with two pseudoautosomal and one Y-specific probe demonstrated that the breakpoint was on distal Yp and that there was Y chromosome material on 4q. Thus the translocation was reciprocal and could be characterized as t(Y;4)(pll;q32). There was no evidence for loss of Y-DNA sequences as judged by Southern blotting with Y-DNA probes. Thus the translocation may be balanced. We conclude that DNA hybridization can be used to refine considerably the cytogenetic analysis of such translocations.

We have used Y-specific and Y-derived DNA probes for in situ hybridization and Southern blotting analysis to characterize a Y;15 translocation showing normal Mendelian inheritance in a family. Cytogenetically there appeared to be an unbalanced translocation of Yqh to 15p; this translocation may be c
A patient with mixed gonadal dysgenesis and Y isochromosomes i(Y) is described. Lymphocyte cultures from peripheral blood contained a high proportion of 45,X cells and several other cell lines with two different marker chromosomes (mars). These markers had either a monocentric (mar1) or a dicentric
## Abstract Desmoid tumors are fibroblastic/myofibroblastic proliferations. Previous studies reported that __CTNNB1__ mutations were detected in 84% and that mutations of the __APC__ gene were found in several cases of sporadic desmoid tumors lacking __CTNNB1__ mutations. Forty tumors were analyzed
