Human chimerism.

View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

After a short survey of the various kinds of human chimerism, 2 examples of spontaneous and permanent chimeras are presented: one case of blood chimerism in dizygotic male twins and a second case showing only one population of erythrocytes, lymphocytes and fibroblasts, in which the chimerism could only be detected by investigating the progeny of the proposita.

A study of independence between STR and conventional blood type loci.

Blood samples from approximately 200 Scottish Caucasian individuals were typed at conventional loci (PGM, Gc and EAP) and also with a four locus STR multiplex. Tests of the data are described which demonstrate that the assumptions of between locus independence are robust for use in forensic casework.

Dombrock blood group (DO): assignment to chromosome 12p.

The Dombrock blood group system (DO) is a common polymorphism in Caucasians, represented by two red cell antigen alleles. In a linkage study in our family material of 832 families from the Copenhagen area, we found a strong indication of tight linkage with the two flanking DNA polymorphisms D12S358 (z = 7.66; at theta M = 0.001, theta F = 0.031) and D12S364 (z = 8.53; at theta M = 0.068, theta F = 0.031). DO is assigned to the region 12p13.2-12p12.1 by physically localised markers.
