Sister chromatid exchanges in cultured peripheral lymphocytes from twins.

Sister chromatid exchange points (SCE points) on individual chromosomes were studied in cultured lymphocytes from 11 monozygotic (MZ) and nine dizygotic (DZ) same-sexed pairs by means of sequential Q-banding and BUdR-Giemsa techniques. No statistically significant variation between unrelated individuals with respect to SCE points on specific chromosomes was found. Intrapair differences in the number of SCE points on specific chromosomes were not significantly smaller between MZ twin partners as compared with DZ partners. The results suggest that genetic factors do not play any major role in the frequency and distribution of SCE in normal subjects.

Hurler/Scheie phenotype. Report of an inbred sibship with tapeto-retinal degeneration and electron-microscopie examination of the conjuctiva.

An inbred sibship with corneal opacities and deficient alpha-L-iduronidase activity showed signs of a Hurler/Scheie phenotype. The children were of normal intelligence. In one of the children, electron microscopy of the conjunctiva showed membrane-bound intracellular vacuoles and the electroretinogram was extinguished. The consanguinity of the parents is taken to indicate the presence of homozygosity of a mutant gene different from both the Hurler and Scheie mutants, thus rejecting the concept of a genetic compound in our patients.
