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 h

β¦ Synopsis
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 or related to the genus Citrobacter on the basis of the IMViC tests differs from this taxon by numerical analysis and DNA base composition. Our work reveals a DNA relatedness of 81-89% between the centrotype strain of this group and the genus Klebsiella. Although strains of group D show positive motility and negative Voges-Proskauer reactions, a comparison of their phenotypic characters leads us to consider that the strains with a high level of hybridization within this group belong to K. pneumoniae. These results suggest a complete revision of the traditional classification scheme of the genus Klebsiella.

## 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

The availability of cloned varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA probes allows rapid detection of viral-specific DNA by "dot-blot" hybridization in lymphocytes or in lesion aspirates. Thirty-six blood specimens were obtained from 25 patients with suspected varicella or zoster. VZV-specific DNA was demons
