Karyotype analysis in meiosis: Giemsa banding in the genus Secale L.

Theor Appl Genet

Fachbereich Biologie (Botanik), J.W. Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt a. M., BRD.

Published: May 1976

Terminal bands of meiotic chromosomes stained by the Giemsa technique are permanent genetic structures of the nucleus during PMC differentiation in 8 samples of wild, primitive, and cultivated species of rye. The characteristic meiotic banding pattern is probably identical with the heterochromatic regions of mitotic chromosomes of root meristem cells (RMC) which have so far been studied. Karyotype analysis can be significantly improved by quantitative studies of the number and size of the bands combined with certain well-known chromosome characters in diplotene and diakinesis. The chromosomes involved in multivalents of some natural and synthetic species hybrids are identified for the first time. The results are discussed both in relation to the problems of chromosome evolution and their significance for marker techniques in cytogenetics.

Trisomy 22 is a rare autosomal constitutional chromosomal disorder with high survival incompatibility being the third most frequent trisomy in spontaneous abortions and accounting for 10%-15% of all cases. Mosaic trisomy 22 is a less severe variant of the disorder associated with mild phenotype and longer lifespan compared to cases with complete trisomy 22. To date, there have only been 25 reported cases of trisomy 22 worldwide.

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with RAM immunophenotype is a newly recognized high-risk AML immunophenotypic subcategory characterized by blasts with bright expression of CD56 and weak to absent expression of CD45, HLA-DR, and CD38, as first described by the Children's Oncology Group (COG). The relationship between AML-RAM and other CD56-positive acute leukemias is unclear. The goal of this study is to characterize the clinicopathological characteristics of AML with RAM phenotype and compare them with other CD56 co-expressing acute leukemias.

Myelodysplastic neoplasia with complex karyotype (CK-MDS) poses significant clinical challenges and is associated with poor survival. Detection of structural variants (SVs) is crucial for diagnosis, prognostication, and treatment decision-making in MDS. However, the current standard-of-care (SOC) cytogenetic testing, relying on karyotyping, often yields ambiguous results in cases with CK.
