We used fluorescence in situ hybridization to characterize the molecular position of the breakpoints in a t(8;13)(p11;q12) reciprocal translocation from a patient with an atypical myeloproliferative disorder.

Abstract
We report the clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular findings in a family in which a t(Y;15)(p11.2;q12) is segregating. The Y chromosome breakpoint disrupts the DYZ5 sequence containing the TSPY genes that are exclusively expressed in the testes while the chromosome 15 breakpoint is within the GABRG3 gene. The father and his son who both carried the balanced form of the translocation are clinically normal. A daughter who carried the der Y had the clinical features of PraderβWilli syndrome while a son who carries the der 15 has mild developmental delay and hypogonadism. The relationship of the translocation to the clinical phenotypes is discussed. Β© 2003 WileyβLiss, Inc.

A subgroup of pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary glands is characterized by translocations involving chromosome 8, with consistent breakpoints at 8q 12. As part of a positional cloning effort to isolate the gene(s) affected by these translocations we now report the mapping of the 8q I 2 breakpoint
Maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) for chromosome 15 is responsible for an estimated 30% of cases of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). We report on an unusual case of maternal disomy 15 in PWS that is most consistent with adjacent-1 segregation of a paternal t(3;15)(p25;q11.2) with simultaneous maternal m
