conclusions this study revealed allele frequency of some strs on chromosome 12 and 16 for the first time in iran, and indicated differences between subjects with metabolic syndrome and subjects in the control group. results there was no significant deviation in allelic frequencies from hardy-weinberg equilibrium for all the studied markers except for d12s1632 and d12s329. the long alleles in d1...

CT140 RFLP Probe: Four primers were designed from the CT140 RFLP probe: PCT140F1, PCT140F2, PCT140R1 and PCT140R2 (Table 1). All four primer combinations gave the strongest bands of 750 bp with Heinz 1706 DNA (Fig. 2). Primer pairs PCT140F1/PCT140R1 and PCT140F2/PCT140R2 gave two bands. Primer pairs PCT140F1/PCT140R2 and PCT140F2/PCT140R1 gave a single band. The primer pair PCT140F2/PCT140R1 ga...

An abnormal female infant, who survived for 10 months with almost complete trisomy 16p and monosomy of sub-band 21q22.3, is described. The chromosome anomaly was the result of an unbalanced segregation of a maternal balanced translocation t(16;21)(p11;q22.3). The partial monosomy was considered to have had little or no adverse phenotypic effect. Cases with trisomy of chromosome 16 material are ...

Background: Lymphocytes of Fanconi anemia (FA) show an increased sensitivity to the alkylating agents such as mitomycin C (MMC), but their responses to gamma-irradiation is controversial. The extent of DNA damage in leukocytes of FA patients following irradiation and MMC treatment was studied at cellular and single chromosome level. Methods: DNA damage induced by gamma-rays and MMC was measure...

Chromosome numbers of six Strobilanthes (Acanthaceae) species from China have been reported for the first time: S. compacta (2n=30), longzhouensis reptans bantonensis (2n=32), hongii (2n=32) and retusa (2n=32). Based on reports at present, x=15 x=16 are assumed to be main basic chromosome Strobilanthes.
