We report a cryptic translocation ascertained in a family after the birth of a mentally retarded proband. High resolution chromosome examination revealed that the father had a subtle translocation between chromosome 5 and chromosome 13, 46, XY, t(5;13) (q35.2;q34). Two specific, non-routine techniqu

We report on a patient with a de novo translocation between the long arms of chromosomes 14 and 18. The translocation was studied using microdissection in combination with fluorescence in situ hybridization (micro-FISH). Five copies of the chromosomes involved in the translocation were isolated by m
A balanced complex chromosome rearrangement (BCCR) involving 3 chromosomes with 4 breakpoints, was identified in a 36-yr-old woman who was studied because her fetus was discovered to have an unbalanced reciprocal translocation (7q;lOq). Analysis of high resolution bands and the application of fluore
The sole chromosome defect in a colon cancer cell line derived from a patient with inherited nonpolyposis colorectal cancer was karyotypically designated as 46,XY,-I3,+der( I3)t( I; I3)(q32. I ;p I I) on the basis of banding homology. We have obtained molecular confirmation that the additional chrom
