Ring Autosomes: Some Unexpected Findings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ring chromosomes are rare entities, usually associated with phenotypic abnormalities in correlation with the loss of genetic material. There are various breakpoints and sometimes there is a dynamic mosaicism that is reflected in clinical features. Most of the ring chromosomes are de novo occurrences. Our study reflects the experience of three Romanian cytogenetic laboratories in the field of ring chromosomes. We present six cases with ring chromosomes involving chromosomes 5, 13, 18, and 21. All ring chromosomes were identified after birth in children with plurimalformative syndromes. The ring chromosome was present in mosaic form in three cases, and this feature reflects the ring's instability. In case of ring chromosome 5, we report a possible association with oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum.

Meiotic behavior and karyotypic variation in Acledra (Pentatomidae, Heteroptera).
Acledra comprises 15 taxonomically identified species, most of which are crop pests. This is the first cytogenetic study of species of this genus. Acledra kinbergii and A. modesta showed the modal number of the Pentatomidae (2n = 14 = 12 + XY), while A. bonariensis had a reduced complement (2n = 12 = 10 + XY), with a markedly larger autosomal pair. Meiotic behavior follows the general pattern o...
متن کاملATTEMPTED PREPARATION OF N-SUBSTITUTED DIPHENYLCYCLOPROPENEIMINE N-OXIDE
The reaction of diphenylcyclopropenone with several N-substituted hydroxylamine and primary amines are investigated. Most of these reactions led to ring opened or ring enlarged products, instead of the desired N-Oxide or imine. The reaction of cyclopropeneimine with peracid-another possible route to N-substituted cyclopropeneimine N-Oxide is studied. Most of the unexpected products are ide...
متن کاملFuzzy projective modules and tensor products in fuzzy module categories
Let $R$ be a commutative ring. We write $mbox{Hom}(mu_A, nu_B)$ for the set of all fuzzy $R$-morphisms from $mu_A$ to $nu_B$, where $mu_A$ and $nu_B$ are two fuzzy $R$-modules. We make$mbox{Hom}(mu_A, nu_B)$ into fuzzy $R$-module by redefining a function $alpha:mbox{Hom}(mu_A, nu_B)longrightarrow [0,1]$. We study the properties of the functor $mbox{Hom}(mu_A,-):FRmbox{-Mod}rightarrow FRmbox{-Mo...
متن کاملKaryological and meiotic studies in seven species of Coreinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) from North India.
Coreinae, the largest subfamily of Coreidae, is distributed worldwide but is most abundant in the tropics. Cytogenetic data is available for 122 species, which include 40 from India. In the present paper, 7 species of Coreinae have been cytogenetically investigated for the first time for their diploid chromosome complement and for meiosis. Also, this is the first cytogenetic report for the gene...
