Karyotypes of four catfishes of the genus Mystus Scopoli, 1777 (family Bagridae), M. atrifasciatus Fowler, 1937, M. mysticetus Roberts, 1992, M. singaringan (Bleeker, 1846) and M. wolffii (Bleeker, 1851), were analysed by conventional and Ag-NOR banding as well as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques. Microsatellite d(GC)15, d(CAA)10, d(CAT)10 and d(GAA)10 repeat probes were applied in FISH. The obtained data revealed that the four studied species have different chromosome complements. The diploid chromosome numbers (2n) and the fundamental numbers (NF) range between 52 and 102, 54 and 104, 56 and 98, or 58 and 108 in M. mysticetus, M. atrifasciatus, M. singaringan or M. wolffii, respectively. Karyotype formulae of M. mysticetus, M. atrifasciatus, M. singaringan and M. wolffii are 24m+26sm+4a, 26m+24sm+2a, 24m+18sm+14a and 30m+22sm+6a, respectively. A single pair of NORs was identified adjacent to the telomeres of the short arm of chromosome pairs 3 (metacentric) in M. atrifasciatus, 20 (submetacentric) in M. mysticetus, 15 (submetacentric) in M. singaringan, and 5 (metacentric) in M. wolffii. The d(GC)15, d(CAA)10, d(CAT)10 and d(GAA)10 repeats were abundantly distributed in species-specific patterns. Overall, we present a comparison of cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic patterns of four species from genus Mystus providing insights into their karyotype diversity in the genus.

Abstract The most frequent chromosomal abnormalities in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) are deletions on 13q14 and 17p13, trisomy 12 and 14q32 rearrangement. Conventional metaphase cytogenetic analysis underestimates the frequency of specific chromosome aberrations in B-CLL due to the low rate of spontaneous mitoses and poor response to mitogen stimulation. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of chromosomal changes in bone marrow or peripheral blood cells (or both) of B-CLL patients using a molecular cytogenetic method, interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (I-FISH). Probes for 13q14 (D13S319), 17p13 (P53 gene), the centromere of chromosome 12 (D12Z3) and 14q32 (Ig10 and Y6) were applied to detect chromosomal aberrations on bone marrow and peripheral blood smears from 83 B-CLL patients (60 male, 23 female,). Molecular cytogenetic aberrations were found in 60 (72.3%) cases, and 8 (9.6%) patients showed two kinds of abnormalities. The most frequent abnormalities detected in our patients was deletions of 13q14 in 34 cases (41.0%), followed by trisomy of chromosome 12 in 16 patients (19.3%), deletions of 17p13 in 10 patients (12%) and 14q32 rearrangement in 8 patients (9.6%). Statistical analyses were performed to correlate the molecular cytogenetic findings with Binet stages. No apparent differences in distribution were noted for anomalies del(13q14), del(17p13), +12 or 14q32 rearrangement among patients with various Binet stages. FISH was found to be a more rapid, exact and sensitive technique for the analysis of chromosome aberrations in CLL. FISH could provide accurate information of molecular cytogenetics for CLL.

Abstract Background Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare malignant plasma cell disorder that usually carries an aggressive course with a rapidly fatal outcome. Cytogenetic studies performed on plasma cell disorder are scarce and difficult because of the low proliferation rate of plasma cells. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis is an attractive alternative for evaluation of numerical and structural chromosomal changes in PCL. Methods Interphase FISH (I-FISH) and two different specific probes for the regions containing 13q14.3 (D13S319) or 14q32 (IGHC/IGHV) were used to detect 13q14 deletion [del(13q14)] or IgH rearrangement in 22 PCL patients. For patients with IgH rearrangement, probes for IgH(JH) and 11q13 (CCND1) or 4p16 (FGFR3) were used to detect t(11;14)(q13;q32) or t(4;14)(p16;q32). Results Molecular cytogenetic aberrations were found in 19 of 22 (86.4%) PCL patients. Del(13q14) was detected in 13 cases (59.1%), and IgH rearrangement in 17 (77.3%) patients including 7 with t(11;14) and 3 with t(4;14). 14q32 rearrangement and 13q14 deletion were found concurrently in 11 cases (50%). Conclusions Chromosomal abnormalities are frequent in PCL. The most frequent aberrations among the cases was the 14q32 rearrangement and 13q14 deletion. I-FISH technique is useful to detect molecular cytogenetic aberrations and should be used in the routine evaluation of PCL.
