Abstract

The computer database on X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) disorders developed by Arena and Lubs in 1991 has now been updated to include all currently known XLMR disorders and nonspecific (MRX) families. Currently, it includes 123 syndromes, 59 nonspecific XLMR families, and 60 families from the Miami/Greenwood study. The older clinical reports have been reviewed and revised. The search mechanism has also been revised and now includes 740 individual "keywords." Each of these keywords recognizes several of clinical descriptive terms, as used in published literature reports. Searches can be made according to any clinical finding or combination of findings. For each disorder, the database presents a graphic display that contains a revised and more complete set of clinical findings, references, keywords, map localization, molecular information, access to pictures, and OMIM number.

Mitotic karyotyping and FISH mapping of the gender-specific locus indicate an advanced XY system in Hippophae rhamnoides.

Hippophae rhamnoides ssp. turkestanica, a subdioecious plant inhabiting the cold desert of the Indian Himalaya, has gained immense recognition for its nutritional and medicinal values. In recent years, the plant species has proven to be a suitable system to understand the evolution of dioecy. Despite its biological significance, the cytogenetics of this dioecious plant is unclear due to various conflicting accounts of its X-Y chromosome system, particularly the length of Y-chromosome. In this study, we resolved these ambiguities through comprehensive cytogenetic analyses across diverse western Himalayan populations. Using morphometric analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with a gender-specific marker (HRMSSR), we confirmed homomorphic XX chromosomes in females and heteromorphic sex-chromosomes in males with a notably smaller Y-chromosome. The investigation also revealed a predominant somatic chromosome number of 2n = 24, although minor deviations (2n = 18, 20, 22) appeared at the seed level. These findings highlight an evolutionarily advanced sex-chromosome system. This first detailed cytogenetic investigation of Himalayan Seabuckthorn provides critical insights into the chromosomal architecture, laying a crucial foundation for future evolutionary, genomic, and conservation studies in the species.

Chromosomal mapping of human genes by radioactive hybridization of cDNAs to Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme humain high density gridded filter sets.

Chromosomal assignment of human transcribed sequences has been done mainly by high throughput genome analysis in specialized genome centres and, in a more classical fashion, by fluorescence in-site hybridization (FISH) analysis. Not every laboratory has the ability to map cDNAs by FISH analysis. We here report a rapid mapping approach that is based on the hybridization of cDNA probes to high density gridded Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain filters followed by subsequent computational analysis by database searches in the internet. Not only transcribed sequences but also genomic DNA could be subjected to this mapping approach. The presented approach allows to map human transcribed and genomic DNAs within 1-3 days and with a high level of resolution that will constantly increase in line with the incorporation of data deriving from high throughput genome mapping.
