Her karyotype contains three grossly abnormal chromosomes, a 5p–q+, a ring C and a 15q+. Formally, a minimum of six breaks is involved in the origin of this complex anomaly. Based on autoradiographic evidence, it is concluded that the cri-du-chat phenotype in this patient is due to a submicroscopical lesion in the distal segment of the short arm of the abnormal No. 5 chromosome; without noticeable loss of chromatin, a break involved in a pericentric inversion, 5p–q+ seems to have altered a chromosome section of crucial importance. Such an interpretation is supported by the reports of cri-du-chat cases with morphologically normal No. 5 chromosomes. The additional structural rearrangements in the child’s karyotype apparently did not affect his phenotype. Blood cultures from the child’s mother showed acentric fragments and ring chromosomes in 5.3% of 225 analyzed cells. Possible causes for this high aberration rate are discussed.","PeriodicalId":78202,"journal":{"name":"Cytogenetics","volume":"10 1","pages":"50-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000130126","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"16184476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several earlier assignments were confirmed: LG I to chromosome 8, LG V to chromosome 2, LG XII to chromosome 19, LG XIII to chromosome 1, and LG XVIII to chromosome 9. In addition, chromosomes 4, 17, and 18 were identified in translocations, but the available genetic data did not permit linkage-group assignments. The centromere of chromosome 8 was located at the nv (Nijmegen waltzer) end of LG I by the two-breakpoint method. The position of the centromere of chromosome 1 at the fz (fuzzy) end of LG XIII and that of chromosome 9 at the nr (nervous) end of LG XVIII were confirmed by the same method.","PeriodicalId":78202,"journal":{"name":"Cytogenetics","volume":"10 6","pages":"452-64"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000130165","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"16233342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diploid number varies only from 76 to 78. Therefore, the majority of the differences appear to be the results of pericentric inversions. These geographical chromosomal differences in Thomomys bottae and T. umbrinus are best explained as adaptations to habitat characteristics. Within both species, populations occurring in arid or shallow soil habitats have karyotypes characterized by a high number of acrocentrics, whereas populations in more favorable conditions have karyotypes composed entirely of metacentrics or submetacentric elements. These parallel trends suggest that the symmetry of the karyotype as a whole may have functional significance.","PeriodicalId":78202,"journal":{"name":"Cytogenetics","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000130121","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"16184474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The variation could be attributed to a single inversion widely distributed in the species. Minor structural variations in other autosomes also occurred.
