Cytogenetic Findings in Erythroleukemia

Cytogenetic findings in couples with fertility problems

Background: Chromosomal aberrations can be one of the causes of fertility problems, including infertility or frequent abortions. Identification of chromosomal aberrations by clinical diagnostic techniques has been primarily performed through standard karyotyping. In this screening, the prevalence of these disorders were checking in individuals with fertility problems from west population of Ira...

Cytogenetic findings in an epithelioid sarcoma

Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare, aggressive soft tissue tumor of unknown histogenesis showing predominantly epithelioid cytomorphology. We conducted a conventional and molecular cytogenetic study of a 27-year-old male with epithelioid sarcoma with angiomatoid features. Cytogenetic analysis of epithelioid sarcoma metaphase spreads by GTG-banding revealed a diploid chromosome complement with struct...
