Three different subtle reciprocal translocations were detected on long, well-banded chromosomes. The same translocations were examined using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with chromosome-specific libraries and unique DNA sequences. Our findings show that FISH allows rapid and unequivocal detection and characterization of this type of chromosome rearrangement. This approach is especially useful for prenatal diagnosis when one of the parents is a balanced carrier of such small fragment translocations.
在长且带型良好的染色体上检测到三种不同的细微相互易位。使用染色体特异性文库和独特的DNA序列,通过荧光原位杂交(FISH)对相同的易位进行了检测。我们的研究结果表明,FISH能够快速、明确地检测和鉴定此类染色体重排。当父母一方是这种小片段易位的平衡携带者时,这种方法对于产前诊断特别有用。
