115 couples with consanguineous marriage, who had experienced reported abortions or still births either in their close relatives (3 couples) or themselves (1 couple) were exposed to genetic counseling (at the shahid akbarabadi hospital) cytogenetic studied were carried out using both conventional staining and g.t.g banding for all the cases studied. the investigation demonstrated various forms ...

The present study reports the chromosome number and meiotic behaviour of 14 populationsbelonging to four taxa of Anchusa subgenus Buglossum Gusul. from Iran. All populationsshowed the chromosome number 2n= 4x= 32. It is the first meiotic study for A. subg.Buglossum. We discuss some habit form and evolutionary aspect in the light of cytogeneticdata. The origin of polyploidy (auto-allopolyploidy)...

  Background and Objectives: Primary amenorrhea is not a disease but a symptom that may result from several quite different causes[NN1] . Common hormonal cause of primary amenorrhea includes constitutional delay, hypothalamic –pituitary dysfunction, chronic systemic disease and absent ovarian function. The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of the chromosomal abnormality referred ...

Background: Constitutional chromosome abnormalities are among the major contributors to the genetic causes of reproductive disorders. Despite all of worldwide efforts have been made so far, the prognosis for mosaic X chromosome aberration below 30% of unemployed has yet to be established. The purpose of this study was to assess the quantity and quiddity of chromosomal aberrations that may negat...

in this study the original mitotic chromosome counts are presented for 5 onobrychis species of o. sect. onobrychis in iran, 2n = 2x = 14 for o. persica, 2n = 4x = 28 for o. viciifolia, 2n = 4x = 28 for o. altissima, 2n = 2x = 14 for o. shahpurensis and 2n = 2x = 14 for o. sosnovskyi. the basic chromosome numbers of all studied taxa are consistent with the proposed base number of x = 7. in addit...

The main objective of the present study was to develop an efficient and reliable probe to be routinely used for detection of chromosome 13 copy numbers by interphase FISH. To achieve this, a Yeast Artificial Chromosome (YAC) containing sequences specific for human 13q12 (744D11), was cultured and the whole yeast genomic DNA was extracted. The human insert within the isolated DNA was amplified b...
