Duplication 9p due to unequal sister chromatid exchange.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of trisomy 9p syndrome is reported. The karyotype showed a tandem duplication of the short arm and of the inverted heterochromatic block of chromosome 9. Unequal sister chromatid exchange seems to be the only possible cause of this finding.

Unequal sister chromatid exchange. A mechanism affecting Ig gene arrangement and expression
Two gamma 2a gene forms in the MPC11 mouse myeloma cell line (gamma 2b, K) have been localized to the expressed H chain chromosome, where they exist in tandem downstream of the expressed gamma 2b gene. The gamma 2a gene duplication has apparently occurred by spontaneous, unequal sister chromatid exchange (SCE) in a B lymphoid precursor of MPC11 or in MPC11 itself. It is especially significant t...
متن کاملSister chromatid fusion initiates amplification of the dihydrofolate reductase gene in Chinese hamster cells.
We have utilized a dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) probe in combination with selected probes from other positions along the 2q chromosome arm in a two-color fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of early DHFR gene amplification events in CHO cells. These studies show clearly that the most frequent initiating event is the formation of a giant inverted duplication, resulting from chromosome ...
متن کاملUnequal sister chromatid and homolog recombination at a tandem duplication of the A1 locus in maize.
Tandemly arrayed duplicate genes are prevalent. The maize A1-b haplotype is a tandem duplication that consists of the components, alpha and beta. The rate of meiotic unequal recombination at A1-b is ninefold higher when a homolog is present than when it is absent (i.e., hemizygote). When a sequence heterologous homolog is available, 94% of recombinants (264/281) are generated via recombination ...
متن کاملLeft-handed Z-DNA and intramolecular triplex formation at the site of an unequal sister chromatid exchange.
An unequal sister chromatid exchange (USCE) in the mouse myeloma cell line MPC-11 between 3' regions of the C gamma 2a and C gamma 2b heavy chain genes results in duplication of the C gamma 2a heavy chain gene and generation of a novel recombination joint. The USCE occurs between (TC)n tracts adjacent to alternating purine-pyrimidine tracts. We have investigated the capacity of both the donor r...
متن کاملOne-step and stepwise magnification of a bobbed lethal chromosome in Drosophila melanogaster.
Bobbed lethal (bbl) chromosomes carry too few ribosomal genes for homozygous flies to be viable. Reversion of bbl chromosomes to bb or nearly bb+ occurs under magnifying conditions at a low frequency in a single generation. These reversions occur too rapidly to be accounted for by single unequal sister chromatid exchanges and seem unlikely to be due to multiple sister strand exchanges within a ...
