A new case of an inherited reciprocal translocation in cattle: rcp(13;26) (q24;q11).

This study reports on a unique balanced reciprocal chromosome translocation detected in a phenotypically normal cattle dam and her calf. CBG-, GTG-banding and FISH using bovine whole-chromosome and telomere probes were applied. The analyses showed that the breakpoints were located near to the centromere in chromosome 26 (q11) and exceptionally close to the telomere in chromosome 13 (q24).

[Psychological responses in women with normal pregnancy].

Normal pregnancies have been followed up during the three trimesters in 246 women. The study techniques included a structured interview, Kraepelin's counting test of mental working capacity and personality inventory for pregnant women. The mental working capacity was found to be significantly decreased in the pregnant women; in addition, patterns of a psychological response to pregnancy were first delineated.

[Relation between genetic and non-genetic factors of individual susceptibility to silicosis].

The study was carried out at a number of industrial enterprises at risk of silicosis by means of the methodological approach based on the mathematical theory of image discrimination. It was shown that under the given conditions of dust exposure higher or lower probability of the development of silicosis and silicotuberculosis in an individual depended on the whole set of environment and endogenic factors, involving genetic predisposition to the disease as one of the leading factors. The impact of the above factors being similar irrespective of the type of the enterprise, their comparative contribution could be different.

[Use of complex assessment of dermatoglyphic signs for prediction of the risk of development of occupational diseases].

Dermatoglyphic investigations conducted by the authors made it possible to demonstrate a genetic predisposition to occupational diseases, in particular, to silicosis and silicotuberculosis. Methods based on the mathematical theory of pattern recognition were used for multifactor analysis of the data. It was shown that complex evaluation of 10 dermatoglyphic indices gave a reliable prognosis of the risk of the above two kinds of disease due to silica dust.
