β¦ Synopsis
We report on a 21-month-old white boy with the Rothmund-Thomson syndrome. The karyotype on fibroblasts from an area of skin with poikiloderma showed the 46,XY,17 + der(17),t(2;17)(qll;p13) pattern.
Karyotype on fibroblasts from normal skin
showed two different abnormal patterns: 47,XY, + 8 and 47,XY, + i(2q). His lymphocytes had a normal 46,XY pattern.
These findings indicate in vitro abnormalities. They are explained by a degree of chromosomal instability.

A cytogenetic study was done on a human malignant melanoma cell line and its 5 clones. Chromosome banding analysis indicated the presence of 7 "shared" markers (M) and 9 unique markers (m) that were present only in the clones. Chromosomes I, 5, 9, 12, 17 and 21 were involved in M-markers and chromos
We have determined the mitotic stability of micro-and mini-satellite DNA sequences in SV40-immortalized Werner syndrome (WS) and control fibroblast cell lines. Five microsatellite loci were genotyped in two WS and two control SV40-immortalized fibroblast cell lines and in 154 independent primary or
