25. Familial partial trisomy 8p without dysmorphic features and only mild mental retardation
We report on a mother and her two sons who had a direct duplication of chromosome region 8p22-8p23.1 without dysmorphic features and only mild mental retardation. The patients have been studied using G banding, chromosome painting, and FISH using cosmid probes specific for the region 8p23.1-8pter. Comparison of the phenotypes of our patients and of published

26. Evolution of mammalian genome organization inferred from comparative gene mapping
Comparative genome analyses, including chromosome painting in over 40 diverse mammalian species, ordered gene maps from several representatives of different mammalian and vertebrate orders, and large-scale sequencing of the human and mouse genomes are beginning to provide insight into the rates and patterns of chromosomal evolution on a whole-genome scale, a

27. Ordered tandem arrangement of chromosomes in the sperm heads of monotreme mammals.
A very old unanswered question in classical cytology is whether chromosomes are arranged randomly in sperm or whether they occupy specific positions. Even with modern methods of chromosome painting, it is difficult to resolve this question for the very condensed and almost spherical sperm head of most mammals. We have taken advantage of the unusual fibrillar

28. Identification of bacterial cells by chromosomal painting.
Chromosomal painting is a technique for the microscopic localization of genetic material. It has been applied at the subcellular level to identify regions of eukaryotic chromosomes. Here we describe the development of bacterial chromosomal painting (BCP), a related technology for the identification of bacterial cells. Purified genomic DNAs from six bacterial

29. Disclosure of five breakpoints in a complex chromosome rearrangement by microdissection and FISH.
Microdissection and fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) were used to elucidate the nature of a complex chromosome translocation, after GTG banding failed in the complete characterisation of the structural rearrangement between chromosomes 6 and 12. These chromosomes were painted with chromosome specific paints and one of the chromosome regions involved

30. Familial complex chromosome rearrangement ascertained by in situ hybridisation.
A complex familial chromosome translocation has been ascertained by combining classical cytogenetics and CISS (chromosomal in situ suppression). Cytogenetic analysis of a chorionic villus sample with G banding showed a 47,XX,-2, +der(2)t(2;22),+der(22)t(2;22) karyotype. Analysis of peripheral blood lymphocytes from the parents by G banding and CISS showed a

31. Simultaneous visualization of seven different DNA probes by in situ hybridization using combinatorial fluorescence and digital imaging microscopy.
Combinatorial labeling of probes (i.e., with two or more different reporters) increases the number of target sequences that can be detected simultaneously by fluorescence in situ hybridization. We have used an epifluorescence microscope equipped with a digital imaging camera and computer software for pseudocoloring and merging images to distinguish up to sev

32. Partial trisomy 3q causing mild Cornelia de Lange phenotype.
A brother and sister are reported with developmental delay and facial features suggestive of the Cornelia de Lange syndrome. Cytogenetic analysis showed them to be trisomic for the region 3q25.1-26.2 because of the inheritance of an unbalanced interchromosomal insertion from their father, who was a balanced insertion carrier. The clinical phenotype and cytog

33. Cytogenetic findings indicate heterogeneity in patients with blepharophimosis, epicanthus inversus, and developmental delay.
Three unrelated, mentally retarded boys with typical blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) were found to have chromosomal aberrations. One of them had a del(3)(p25), another patient had a de novo translocation t(2; 3), which after high resolution banding combined with chromosome painting was interpreted to be unbalanced with a loss of b

34. Reconstruction of genomic rearrangements in great apes and gibbons by chromosome painting.
The homology between hylobatid chromosomes and other primates has long remained elusive. We used chromosomal in situ suppression hybridization of all human chromosome-specific DNA libraries to "paint" the chromosomes of primates and establish homologies between the human, great ape (chimpanzee, gorilla, and orangutan), and gibbon karyotypes (Hylobates lar sp

35. Rapid differential diagnosis of myxoid liposarcoma by fluorescence in situ hybridisation on cytological preparations
In two cases of suspected myxoid liposarcoma, where chromosomal metaphase preparations were not available, fluorescence in situ hybridisation was performed on interphase nuclei of cytological preparations for the detection of the specific translocation, t(12;16), characteristic of this tumour and of trisomy 8, which is the most frequent secondary chromosome

36. Further delineation of the partial proximal trisomy 10q syndrome.
We report on a girl with a partial duplication of the proximal part of the long arm of chromosome 10, confirmed by chromosome painting. The phenotypic findings are compared to those found in six other published cases with the same karyotype. Recognition of a specific partial proximal trisomy 10q syndrome seems to be possible, consisting of mild to moderate d
