soil affected by salt (nacl) is a major problem worldwide and in areas with potential agriculture; lands in many countries are not enough to support crop production. the development of salt tolerant cultivars would be enhanced by better understanding of the genetic control of tolerance to salt stress. a new cereal, tritipyrum, a range of amphiploids between triticum spp. and thinopyrum spp....

background: acute promyelocytic leukemia (apl) is a subclass of acute myeloid leukemia. the chromosomal aberration in 95% of apl cases is t(15; 17) (q22; q21), which prevents cell differentiation. characterization of the underlying molecular lesion is valuable in determining optimal treatment strategy. the goal of this study was to develop a new and powerful flow- fish technique to detect the l...

Objective The Subtelomeric rearrangements are increasingly being investigated in cases of idiopathic intellectual disabilities (ID) and congenital abnormalities (CA) but have also been suspected to be responsible for unexplained recurrent miscarriage (RM). We have noticed a higher risk of subtelomeric translocations in association with CA and ID. Such rearrangements can go unnoticed through con...

background:breast cancer remains the most common and second lethal cancer in females. her-2/neu is one of the most important amplified oncogene in breast cancer. the amplification of her-2 is correlated with decreased survival, metastasis, and early recurrence.  the amplification of her-2/neu gene and synthesis of the protein are reported in 10%-34% of breast cancer cases associated with tumor ...

background and objectives: pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important opportunistic pathogens in patients who suffer from immunodeficiency and burns. wound infections caused by p. aeruginosa can rapidly change to systemic and life threatening situation. the aim of this study was to apply florescent in situ hybridization (fish) method for rapid detection of p. aeruginosa in burrn patien...

The importance of cancer biomarkers is now increasingly recognized and acted on by regulatory organizations, healthcare providers (from reimbursement through to practicing clinicians), cancer organizations, research institutes, and charities. For example, the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) states in the opening of its mission statement, “The purpose and scope of the AJCC is to create...

perrault's syndrome (p.s.) is rare. the combination of gonadal dysgenesis and hearing loss was accompanied by 46,xxkaryotype in three sisters with parental consanguineous marriage. genetic investigation revealed normal female karyotype, positive liarr and negative fluorescence ipj-bodies, which was confirmed by molecular study on the basis of fluorescence in situ hybridization (pish), with appl...

background: in most mammals, sex is determined at the beginning of gestation by the constitution of the sex chromosomes, xy in males and xx in females. case: here we report an interesting case characterized by ambiguous genitalia and ovotestis in a newborn carrying an apparently female karyotype (46 xx). array comparative genomic hybridization (array-cgh) revealed an unbalanced rearrangement re...
