Partial trisomy 7q in two siblings.

Trisomy for 7q32 leads to 7qter and monosomy for 9p24 leads to 9pter is observed in a sister and a brother, due to a balanced reciprocal translocation between the long arm of the chromosome 7 and the short arm of the chromosome 9 in the mother. The siblings are retarded mentally as well as in statomotoric development. This paper discusses the correlation between chromosomal states and certain deformities in patients with trisomies of different segments of 7q.

An improved method for Y-body identification and confirmation of a high incidence of YY sperm nuclei.

The fluorescence of Y-bodies and brightly fluorescing autosomal heterochromatin in quinacrine mustard stained interphase nuclei treated with distamycin A is more brilliant than in nuclei stained only with quinacrine and mustard. In the present study examinations with the aid of this method in several probands and different tissues are described. The effect of distamycin A is demonstrated to depend on its dose and the time of exposure to it. An exceptionally high frequency of YY sperm nuclei, previously also described by other studies, is confirmed in the present work. A hypothesis explaining the effect of distamycin A in interphase nuclei is discussed.
