Accessory chromosomes, also called B-chromosomes, have been reported in more than 1300 species of plants. Accessory chromosomes show numerical polymorphism and when present in high number, are known to negatively affect the growth and vigor of the plants, while in low numbers they may be ...

A patient with mental retardation and clinical manifestations suggestive of Noonan syndrome was found to have in her peripheral lymphocytes multiple small accessory marker chromosomes, varying in number from one to five per cell and in size from about half the size of the q arm of a G group chromosome to less than a centromere. ...

This patent describes, in combination: a radial flow turbine engine having a main shaft and a casing with air inlets open radially at one end, and an accessory drive comprising: an accessory housing positioned axially adjacent the one end of the turbine engine casing, a gear ring rotatably mounted within the ...

An engine starter and accessory drive system is described which consists of: an accessory drive means; a planetary gearset having a sun gear driveably connected to the accessory drive means, a ring gear, a carrier and planet pinions rotatably mounted on the carrier, fixed to the engine crankshaft, meshing with the ...

We analyzed transmission of a ring minichromosome (MC) through mouse spermatogenesis as a monosome and in the presence of a homologue. Mice, either monosomic or disomic for the MC, produced MC+ offspring. In the monosomic condition, most univalents underwent self-synapsis as indicated by STAG3, SCP3, and SCP1 deposition. Fluorescent in situ hybridization and three-dimensional ...

Five cases with small supernumerary ring chromosomes are characterized at the molecular level. Routine chromosome banding analysis was insufficient for identification of the ring chromosomes, and none of them was DA/DAPI positive. Fluorescence in situ hybridization utilizing repetitive ...

Ten first instar larvae with ring chromosomes were selected for cytologic ... In experimental conditions, ring chromosomes can persist as stable entities ...

We present a 20-year follow-up on a patient with a ring chromosome 14. The ring chromosome was studied by fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH), multiplex-ligation probe amplification (MLPA), and genome wide SNP array, and no deletions of chromosome 14 were detected, although the telomeric ...

Ring chromosomes are of basic interest to the geneticist and cell biologist who study their behavior in meiotic and mitotic divisions. In addition, the mitotic instability associated with some ring-X chromosomes has proven useful in Drosophila as a means to produce gynandromorphs for developmental studies. We ...

Deletions of chromosome 11 are frequently found in myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS). Ring chromosomes, however, are an unusual findings in MDS. The presence of a cell line with a ring chromosome generally portends a poor prognosis. The absence of a normal chromosome 11 and the ...

The structure-function relationship of cohesin, an essential chromosome maintenance protein, is investigated by analyzing its collective dynamics and conformational flexibility, enhancing our understanding of the sister chromatid cohesion process. A three-dimensional model of cohesin has been constructed by homology modeling using both crystallographic and electron microscopy ...

Small ring X chromosomes were first described in mosaic karyotypes of females with the relatively benign phenotype of Turner syndrome. The presence of these rings in association with more severe phenotypes including mental retardation has raised the possibility that they lack sequences necessary for X chromosome ...

We read with interest the report by Melnyk and Dewald of a small supernumerary ring chromosome 8 identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in a child with developmental delay and minor anomalies. Although ring chromosomes resulting in loss of parts of chromosome 8 have been ...

The chromosomes of two patients with ring 13 (r13) were studied using high-resolution RBG banding of prometaphase cells. The rings of the two patients differ slightly in breakpoints. Cell with multiple single, double-sized rings, quadruple-sized rings, rod- and ring-shaped ...

We report on a 15-year-old black boy with severe mental retardation, multiple congenital anomalies, and a supernumerary ring chromosome mosaicism. Fluorescence in situ hybridization with a chromosome 1 painting probe (pBS1) identified the ring as derived from chromosome 1. The karyotype was ...

Mystery surrounds the mechanism by which the rare cutaneous tumor dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DP) arises and progresses. A clue may be at hand in the form of ring chromosomes seen regularly in some 17 cases including 7 cases in our experience. The specificity of the rings to DP would be enhanced if the rings ...

We present a case with a small extra ring chromosome which was found in 66% of lymphocytes on routine cytogenetic examination. FISH analyses, using centromere specific and single copy probes, showed that the extra ring chromosome was derived from the most proximal part of 10p, close to the centromere. The patient ...

Diverse studies indicate that certain nonhistone proteins may be responsible for maintaining the integrity of the eukaryotic chromosomes. In view of their dispersal during nuclear division and their acknowledged role in gene expression, none of the nuclear matrix proteins can be regarded as integral proteins of the chromosome. Topoisomerase II, structural ...

We used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to study the positions of human chromosomes on the mitotic rings of cultured human lymphocytes, MRC-5 fibroblasts, and CCD-34Lu fibroblasts. The homologous chromosomes of all three cell types had relatively random positions with respect to each other on the mitotic ...

The authors have characterized the structural rearrangements of a chromosome 21 that led to the de novo formation of a human ring chromosome 21 (r(21)). Molecular cloning and chromosomal localization of the DNA regions flanking the ring junction provide evidence for a long arm to long arm ...

BackgroundSeveral cases have been reported of patients with a ring chromosome 18 replacing one of the normal chromosomes 18. Less common are patients with a supernumerary ring chromosomes 18. High resolution whole genome examination in patients with multiple congenital abnormalities might ...

A review of case reports on patients with ring chromosome revealed 30 individuals (plus two fetuses) who inherited the ring from a total of 23 carrier parents (21 mothers and 2 fathers). The proportion of cases with inherited rings, among all patients with a ring, was calculated to be 5.6% as ...

Computed tomography and colour transcranial Doppler were used then to investigate her brain structure and function. Subsequently, chromosomal abnormalities ...

We report on a boy with mild dysmorphic features and developmental delay, in whom karyotyping showed an additional minute ring chromosome in 60% of metaphases. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with a centromere specific probe demonstrated that the ring chromosome contained the centromeric region of ...
