β¦ Synopsis
Isolabeling segments were found in the distal region of the long arm of Y chromosomes derived from human leukocytes grown through two replication cycles in medium containing BrdU and stained by the FPG technique. Three main types of Y chromosome staining patterns were demonstrated: I-Y chromosome with typical SCD, II-Y chromosome with weakly stained distal regions of long arms (isolabeling segments), III-Y chromosome with both terminal regions displaying SCD interrupted by one isolabeled segment. The existence of different types of Y chromosome staining patterns was explained on the basis of the previously described hypothesis of unequal distribution of thymine residues between two DNA polynucleotide chains in the distal part of the long arms of human Y chromosomes.

In a newborn boy with multiple malformations, a tandem duplication was detected at the distal end of the long arm of one human chromosome 1. The Giemsa bands, lq31 to lq43--44, were repeated serially. Since 5S rRNA genes are located at lq42--43, in situ hybridization of ~25I 5S rRNA with fixed chrom
A deletion of the Y chromosome at the distal portion of band q11 was found in 6 men with normal male habitus but with azoospermia. Five of them were found during a survey of 1170 subfertile males while the sixth was karyotyped because of slight bone abnormalities. These findings, together with a rev
H-Y antigen expression was detected on cells from an individual having a presumptive 45,X/46,X,i(Yp) karyotype, but was absent on cells from another person having a 46,X,i(Yq) karyotype. This suggests that the short arm of the human Y chromosome is essential for H-Y antigen expression, at least in t
