Abstract Background The presence of small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMCs) in a karyotype leads to diagnostic questions because the resulting extra material may cause abnormal development depending on the origin of the duplication/triplication. Because SMCs are so small, their origin cannot be determined by conventional cytogenetic techniques, and new molecular cytogenetic methods are necessary. Here, we applied a target approach to chromosome rearrangement analysis by isolating a chromosome of interest via microdissection and using it in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) as a probe in combination with whole-chromosome painting probes. This approach allows to identify origins of both the euchromatin and repeat-rich regions of a marker. Case presentation We report a case of an adult male with congenital atresia of the rectum and anus, anotia, and atresia of the external auditory canal along with hearing loss. Karyotyping and FISH analysis with whole-chromosome painting probes of acrocentric chromosomes and the constructed microdissection library of the marker chromosome reliably identified an additional chromosome in some metaphases: mos 47,XY,+idic(22)(q11.2)[14]/46,XY [23]. Conclusion We propose to use whole-chromosome libraries and microdissected chromosomes in FISH to identify SMCs enriched with repeated sequences. We show that the methodology is successful in identifying the composition of a satellited marker chromosome.

Flow Cytometry Sorting

Flow cytometry sorting technology has been successfully used to sort the X- and Y-chromosome bearing sperm. Previous studies showed that fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method was a simple and reliable procedure for assessing the effectiveness of separation of X- and Y-sperm in the swine (Kawarasaki T et al. 1998 Theriogenology 50, 625–635) and the bovine (Rens W et al. 2001 Reproduction 121, 541–546). Reports of sex-preselection by flow-cytometry sorting of the X- and Y-sperm were also seen in the buffalo (Presicce GA et al. 2005 Reprod. Dom. Anim. 40, 73–75; Lu YQ et al. 2006 Anim. Reprod. Sci. 100, 192–196). There was, however, no report to date for using the FISH method to assess the purity of the sorted buffalo sperm. The objective of the present study was to verify the purity of flow cytometrically-sorted buffalo X- and Y-sperm by FISH using bovine X- and Y- chromosome painting probes prepared by microdissection. The X- and Y- chromosomes of bovidea were microdissected respectively from the metaphase spreads of Holstein blood cells with a glass needle controlled by a micromanipulator and amplified by degenerate oligo-nucleotide primer-PCR (DOP-PCR) (Mariela N et al. 2005 Genet. Mol. Res. 4, 675–683). The DOP-PCR products of X- and Y- chromosome were labeled with CY3-dUTP and Biotin-11-dUTP, respectively. The buffalo X- or Y-sperm DNA from unsorted semen and sorted semen were hybridized to the labeled probes, respectively. The results showed that the hybridized signals were clearly visible in the metaphase karyotype of bovine and buffalo semen samples. About 47.7% (594/1246) and 48.9% (683/1396) of the unsorted buffalo sperm emitted strong fluorescent signals when assessed by Y- and X-chromosome painting probes, respectively, which was conformed to the sex ratio in normal buffalo sperm (50%:50%). About 86.1% (1529/1776) hybridization signals of the sperm in the sorted X-semen assessed by X-chromosome painting probes were detected, while 82.2% (2232/2716) of the Y-sorted buffalo sperm emitted strong fluorescent signals when assessed by Y-chromosome painting probe. The results of the flow cytometer re-analysis revealed that the proportions of X- and Y-bearing sperm in the sorted semen were 89.6% and 86.7%, respectively. There were no apparent differences between the two assessment methods of sperm separation by flow cytometry re-analysis and by FISH with the X-Y paint probe. In conclusion, bovine X- and Y-chromosome painting probes prepared using microisolation method could be used to verify the purity of the sorted sperm in the buffalo.

Abstract Different chemicals can have genotoxic effects on the body, as confirmed by chromosome damage detection. Using conventional cytogenetic analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization, we tested the extent of chromosome damage caused by the acetamiprid-based insecticide Mospilan 20SP on bovine peripheral blood lymphocytes at concentrations of, 2.5, 5, 25 and 50 µg.ml−1 after a 24 h incubation period. During the experiment, the presence of unstable aberrations—chromosomal and chromatid breaks and gaps—were detected by conventional cyto-genetic analysis. With increasing insecticide concentrations, we observed a statistically significant increase in chromosome damage frequency after 24 hours of exposure. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to detect stable structural aberrations; whole-chromosome painting probes for bovine chromosomes 1 and 7 (BTA 1 and BTA 7) were used for this purpose. As a result of exposure to the insecticide, neither BTA 1/BTA 7 translocations nor other types of translocations were observed.

Abstract Objective To explore the value of the technique of whole chromosome painting (WCP) and multiplex fluorescence in situ hybridization (M-FISH) in the detection of complex chromosomal aberrations (CCAs) of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Methods M-FISH was used in seven MDS patients with CCAs detected by R-banding technique to refine CCAs, and to identify cryptic translocations and characterization of marker chromosomes. Dual-color WCP procedures were further performed in 7 cases to confirm some rearrangements detected by M-FISH. Results In all cases, M-FISH confirmed all results of R-banding.The composition and origin of 6 kinds of marker chromosomes, 9 kinds of chromosomes with additional material undetermined and 5 kinds of derivative chromosomes undefined by CC were defined after M-FISH analysis; 4 kinds of cryptic translocations overlooked by CC were found on derivative chromosomes and previously normal appearing chromosomes. In addition, M-FISH revealed some nonrandom aberrations: aberrations involving chromosome 17 (5/7) and -5/5q- (4/7) were the two most frequent aberrations. Fluorescence flaring is a main factor leading to misinterpretations. Some misclassified and missed chromosomal aberrations by M-FISH were corrected by WCP. Conclusions M-FISH is a powerful molecular cytogenetic tool in clarification of CCAs. Complementary WCP helped us identify misclassified and missed chromosomal aberrations by M-FISH. CC in combination with molecular cytogenetic techniques M-FISH and WCP can unravel complex chromosomal aberrations more precisely.

Using whole chromosome painting probes for human chromosomes 3,7,8,13,17 and 21 and X and the probe pHY2.1 for the Y chromosome coupled with fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis, the distribution of chromosomes is reported in nuclei of Sertoli cells of the adult testis and in stimulated blood lymphocytes. The distribution of chromosomes in the two cell types is significantly different. A strong tendency for each pair of homologues to pair is inferred from the observation of only a single detectable signal in the majority of Sertoli cell nuclei. The sex chromosomes, by contrast, give two clearly separated signals. Interphase nuclei in dividing blood lymphocytes, analysed as controls, also show mainly two separated signals for all non-acrocentric autosomal pairs, but acrocentric pairs no. 13 and 21 show some tendency to associate, probably reflecting satellite association.
