Cytogenetic and clinical studies in gonadal dysgenesis with 46,X,Xt(qter leads to p221::p223 leads to qter) karyotype: review and phenotype/karyotype correlations.

Chromosome analysis by Q, R, and C banding was performed in a case diagnosed clinically as gonadal dysgenesis and the karyotype was shown to be 46,X,Xt(qter leads to p221::p223 leads to qter). Localisation of the breakpoints in the fused X chromosomes and replication studies have led to a hypothesis on the origin of the translocation. A comparison of clinical and cytogenetical findings in this and other published cases has also been made in an attempt to detect some phenotype/karyotype correlations.

[Angioma of the parotid gland in children. Considerations on 3 cases].

Three cases of haemangioma of the parotid observed in infants are presented and their aetiopathogenetic and anatomopathological aspects are stressed. An examination of the pros and cons of conservative, surgical, radiation, and pharmacological management leads to the conclusion that surgery is the treatment of choice, provided a suitable technique is employed.

Ag staining of the nucleolus organizer (NO) and its relationship to satellite association.

The frequency of involvement in satellite association and the frequency of selective staining of the secondary constrictions with silver solutions have been studied in five phenotypically normal individuals, all carriers of morphological variants of the nucleolus organizing region (NOR). The results show the preferential involvement of some morphological markers in satellite association, and also their preferential staining with Ag-I. It has also been shown that acrocentric chromosomes involved in satellite association are always stained by silver.

Nucleolus organizer and N-band distribution in morphologic and fluorescence variants of human chromosomes.

Three cases of morphologic variants of human D- or G-group chromosomes have been studied by N- and Ag-AS banding techniques. The results confirm our previous findings about the localization of nucleolus organizers on the secondary constrictions of acrocentric chromosomes. Preliminary results on the distribution and number of N bands in D- and G-group chromosomes with morphologic and fluorescence variants are reported.

A new translocation involving chromosomes no. 5 and no. 12 t(5;12) (5q15;12p13).

A new case of translocation between chromosomes No. 5 and No. 12 is described. The translocation t(5;12) (5q15;12p13) is apparently balanced and was found in a child aged 3 1/2 years who was affected with severe psychomotor retardation. On the basis of the clinical picture it is suggested that the phenotype could be not dependent on the chromosomal alteration.

Nucleolus organizer and satellite association in a variant D-group chromosome.

A No. 15 chromosome with a short arm longer than usual is observed in two phenotypically normal brothers. This chromosome appears to have no visible satellite, shows no N-band staining, and is never involved in satellite association. These results have led us to the conclusion that this chromosome lacks the nucleolus organizer region.

[Echographic diagnosis of hip dysplasia in neonates. Reflections on two years' work at our ultrasonography center].

The paper evaluates the role of ultrasound examinations of the hip joint in neonates by comparing the results of a one-year screening study (non-selected group) with the findings in a selected group of neonates with a high risk of hip dysplasia. The introduction to the paper contains a general discussion of the clinical aspects of hip dysplasia and describes the main anatomical findings using echography.
