Abstract
Genomic single-copy DNA fragments were used to characterize an undetected chromosome translocation in an individual whose metaphase chromosome analysis revealed apparent monosomy 21. Eight RFLPs detected by six probes were used to identify homologous sequences from chromosome 21 in DNA digests from the proband and her parents. These family studies showed that the proband was disomic for the distal region of 21q. Reverse banding and in situ hybridization of chromosome 21-specific probes to metaphase chromosomes from the proband revealed a de novo translocation with breakpoints at 5p13 or 14 and 21q11 or 21. In situ hybridization permitted orientation of the translocated portion of chromosome 21 on the derivative chromosome 5 and, in conjunction with molecular analysis and previous mapping studies, refined the physical map for the long arm of chromosome 21.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
