For medical genetic counseling, estimating the chance of a child being born with chromosome abnormality is crucially important. Cytogenetic diagnostics of parents with a balanced karyotype are a special case. Such chromosome rearrangements cannot be detected with comprehensive chromosome screening. In the current paper, we consider chromosome diagnostics in two cases of chromosome rearrangement in patients with balanced karyotype and provide the results of a detailed analysis of complex chromosomal rearrangement (CCR) involving three chromosomes and a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) in a patient with impaired reproductive function. The application of fluorescent in situ hybridization, microdissection, and multicolor banding allows for describing analyzed karyotypes in detail. In the case of a CCR, such as the one described here, the probability of gamete formation with a karyotype, showing a balance of chromosome regions, is extremely low. Recommendation for the family in genetic counseling should take into account the obtained result. In the case of an sSMC, it is critically important to identify the original chromosome from which the sSMC has been derived, even if the euchromatin material is absent. Finally, we present our view on the optimal strategy of identifying and describing sSMCs, namely the production of a microdissectional DNA probe from the sSMC combined with a consequent reverse painting.

A neocentromere is a functional centromere that has arisen within a region not known to have a centromere. We present a case with a very rarely reported class II neocentromere formation in an aberrant chromosome 7. A 22-month-old male was referred because of dysmorphic features. Banding cytogenetics was performed, and a ring 7 and a supernumerary marker chromosome along with a normal chromosome 7 were found. In situ hybridization using a centromeric probe revealed 46 signals, of which 2 signals for chromosome 7 were observed, one on the normal and one on the ring chromosome. Further analysis using FISH revealed that the linear acentric fragment was part of the 7q region, which suggests that there could be a possible McClintock mechanism.

We describe the combination of hot banding with fluorescence in situ hybridization as a rapid and efficient method to identify integration sites of transfected DNA sequences in chromosomes. As a test system we used SW480 EJ2, a clonal cell line obtained after transfection of SW480 with pSV2neoEJ, a plasmid containing a point-mutated, c-Ha-RAS oncogene. Nick-translated probes were compared with random primed-labeled probes to evaluate their relative efficiency in fluorescence in situ hybridization. The fluorescence signals were quantified in interphase nuclei by confocal scanning laser microscopy. Nick-translated probes were found to yield better results. Hot banding followed by fluorescence in situ hybridization localized the integration site of pSV2neoEJ in SW480 EJ2 at the site of a translocation on a marker chromosome Xp+. The combination of fluorescence in situ hybridization and hot banding can be used to (a) rapidly and efficiently analyze integration sites in large numbers of transfectants, (b) assess the clonality of transfected cell lines, and (c) localize the site of integration of transfected genes in the recipient genome.
