Ring chromosome 18 is a rare condition which has predominantly been described by case reports and small case series. We assessed a cohort of 30 individuals with ring 18 using both microarray comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). We determined that each participant had a unique combination of hemizygosity for the p and q arms. Four ring chromosom...

Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare, low-grade malignant soft tissue tumor that is often mistaken for either benign or more malignant tumor types. Commonly, this tumor affects young adults and typically arises in the deep proximal extremities or trunk with frequent recurrences and can metastasize to the lungs many years later. Most cases have a recurrent balanced translocation invol...

In this paper we propose a parallel and distributed genetic algorithms (PDGA) on xed network topology multiprocessor systems in which each processor element carries out genetic operations on its own chromosome set and communicates with only the neighbors (we say chromosome migration). We execute the proposed method to investigate e ects of chromosome migration on the multiprocessor systems with...

An 11 year old boy with short stature, learning difficulties, and no obvious facial anomalies has a ring (3)(p23q29) formed by a break in the short arm at 3p23 and subsequent fusion with 3qter. A second rearrangement involving translocation of the displaced 3p23-->pter segment to chromosome 6 at 6pter is non-reciprocal with no obvious loss of distal 6pter material. The involvement of one chromo...

Let i : A → R be a ring morphism, and χ : R → A a right R-linear map with χ(χ(r)s) = χ(rs) and χ(1 R) = 1 A. If R is a Frobenius A-ring, then we can define a trace map tr : A → A R. If there exists an element of trace 1 in A, then A is right FBN if and only if A R is right FBN and A is right noetherian. The result can be generalized to the case where R is an I-Frobenius A-ring, and the conditio...
