Abstract
Cytogenetic analysis of a balanced reciprocal translocation t(5;13) carrier and her unbalanced 5p-conceptus was carried out. This carrier mother had previously given birth to a child with cri-du-chat syndrome. Silver staining demonstrated the breakpoint on 13p within the nucleolus organizer region (NOR). In the carrier, the NORs both at the original site 13p0 and at the translocated site (5p) were silver-stained, indicating that the rRNA genes at both sites were transcribed. The NOR at the derivative chromosome 5 was also silver-stained in the fetus.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
