A 15-year-old female with primary amenorrhea and Tuner's syndrome feature was referred for a chromosome analysis. The karyotype of the patient was 45,X/46,X,der(Y) mosaicism under initial GTG-banding analysis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis with probe for CEP X probes and SRY probe (Vysis, Inc. Downers Grove, IL 60515, USA) was carried out. This probe is direct labeled with SpectrumOrange (SRY, Yp11.3) and is available as a single probe or mixed with the CEP X SpectrumGreen probe. SRY SpectrumOrange/CEP X SpectrumGreen hybridized to a specimen obtained from an two isodicentric Y chromosomes. The karyotype of the patient was ish Xcen(DXZ1x1)/Xcen(DXZ1x1), Yp11.3(SRYx2) by using FISH. This karyotype was considered a variant of Tuner syndrome with mixed gonadal dysgenesis (MGD), male pseudohermaphroitism (MPH) and apparently normal male.

The task for chromosome analysis and diagnosis by experienced cytogenetists are being concerned as repetitive, time consuming job and expensive. For that reason, intelligent agent based on chromosome knowledge base has been established to be able to analyze chromosomes and obtain necessary advises from the knowledge base instead of human experts. That is to say, knowledge base by IF THEN production rule was implemented to a knowledge domain with normal and abnormal chromosomes, and then the inference results by knowledge base could enter the inference data into the database. Experimental data were composed of normal chromosomes of 2,736 patients 'cases and abnormal chromosomes of 259 patients' cases that have been obtained from GTG-banding metaphase peripheral blood and amniotic fluid samples. The completed intelligent agent for chromosome knowledge base provides variously morphological information by analysis of normal or abnormal chromosomes and it also has the advantage of being able to consult with user on chromosome analysis and diagnosis.

본 연구는 한국재래돼지 염색체의 핵형 제시를 위하여 G-banding, C-banding 및 AgNORs를 분석하였다. 시험에 공시된 공시축은 축산기술연구소에서 선발 육종중인 재래돼지 종모돈 50두를 대상으로 각 개체별 혈액채취로서 혈액배양을 이용한 핵형 분석을 수행하였다. 한국재래돼지의 핵형은 38, XX 또는 XY로서 5쌍의 submetacentric chromosomes(Group I), 짧은 단완을 가진 2쌍의 acrocentric chromosomes(Group II), 5쌍의 metacentric chromosomes(Group III) 및 동원체가 말단부에 있는 6쌍의 acrocentric chromosomes(Group IV)로 구성된 36개의 상 염색체와 metacentric인 XX 또는 XY 성 염색체로 구성되어 있다. 재래돼지의 G-banding은 각 상동 염색체별 고유한 특징적 밴드 양상을 나타내고 있으며, 전체 염색체의 형태적 특징이나 대표적 landmarks는 국제표준핵형과 큰 차이가 없는 양상이다. 그러나 재래돼지의 경우 국제표준핵형에 비하여 보다 많은 band가 출현하였고 특히 1번, 3번, 5번, 6번, 7번, 8번, 13번, 14번, 15번, 16번, 17번, 18번 및 X 염색체에서 sub-bands의 분리를 나타내었다. 재래돼지의 C-banding은 비록 각 염색체들 간 heterochromatin의 양적 다형성이 존재하지만 거의 모든 상염색체의 동원체 부위에 C-bands가 나타나고, Y 염색체는 염색체의 전장에 걸친 heterochromatin의 분포를 보였다. AgNOR 염색에 의한 재래돼지의 NORs는 8번 및 10번 염색체의 동원체 부위에 확인되었고, 세포 당 NORs의 수는 2개에서 4개까지 관찰되었으며, 평균 2.13개로 분석되었다. 10번 염색체의 경우 모든 상동염색체에서 NORs가 나타나나 8번 염색체에서는 수적 다형성뿐만 아니라 양적 다형성을 나타내었다. 품종 간 NORs의 비교 분석에서 재래돼지의 NORs 수가 Yorkshire에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타나 돼지의 NORs 분포 양상은 특히 8번 염색체에 있어 품종 간, 개체 간 및 세포 간에 다형적 변이 양상이 존재하는 것으로 사료된다.

숙련된 세포유전학자가 수행하는 염색체 분석과 진단 작업은 반복적이고, 시간 소비적이며, 많은 비용이 요구된다. 이러한 이유로, 전문가를 대신하여 염색체 분석에 필요한 정보를 얻을 수 있도록 웹을 이용한 염색체 지식 베이스 기반 지능형 에이전트를 개발하였다. 즉, IF-THEH 생성규칙으로 이루어진 지식 베이스에서 정상 염색체와 비정상 염색체를 하나의 지식 영역으로 구성하고, 추론을 통해 염색체를 분석하고 진단결과를 제시하였다. 연구에 사용한 데이터는 GTG 방법으로 분염된 중기 말초혈액과 양수샘플을 핵형분류하여 얻은 2,736환자 증례의 정상 염색체와 259환자 증례의 비정상 염색체들로 구성하였다. 구축된 염색체 지식 베이스 기반 인텔리전트 에이전트는 정상 염색체와 비정상 염색체의 분석을 통해 다양한 형태학적 정보를 제공하고, 사용자와 시스템간의 상호작용을 통하여 염색체 분석과 진단을 협의할 수 있는 장점들을 지닌다.

We investigated the cytogenetic characteristics of Korean native goat(Capra hircus). Chromosome slides were prepared from peripheral blood cell cultures. GTG, GBG, RBG and CBG-banding techniques were employed on those slides. The high resolution karyotype of Korean native goat could be made with the incorporation of BrdU. Korean native goat has 60 chromosomes composed of 58 autosomes and XY or XX sex chromosomes. All of autosomes of Korean native goat were acrocentric chromosomes. X chromosome was submetacentric and Y chromosome was metacentric. The GTG, GBG and RBG-band patterns of Korean native goat were similar to those of other goats. CBG-band regions were distinct at the proximal portion of the long arms of all autosomes in Korean native goats. According to our investigation, there was no significant difference in chromosomal band patterns between Korean native goat and other goats. It might be necessary to use molecular genetic markers for clarifying the genetical characteristics of Korean native goat whose biological characteristics are not clearly defined.

Between 1988-1998, cytogenetic analyses were performed for 1,476 couples and 162 women with recurrent abortions. We applied GTG-banding, high resolution-banding and FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization) techniques in this study. The frequency of balanced translocations was 3.6% (112/3114). Of them, 74 cases (2.38%) were reciprocal translocations and 38 (1.22%) were robertsonian translocations. Chromosome aberrations were more frequent in women (80 cases) than in men (32 cases). No phenotypical abnormalities were found in all carriers who had experienced recurrent spontaneous abortions or experienced giving birth to malformed offsprings. Prenatal cytogenetic analyses were carried out on 40 subsequent pregnancies for carrier couples with balanced translocation. The fetal karyotypes showed that 13 cases (32.5%) were normal, 25 (62.5%) were balanced translocations, and two (6%) were unbalanced translocations. It is believed that the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities in patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion is higher than that of the normal population. Most of the fetal samples showed normal karyotypes or balanced translocations matching that of one of their parents. Although the incidence of chromosomal imbalance in the fetuses was relatively low in prenatal cytogenetic analysis, individuals with balanced translocations are predisposed to giving birth to malformed offsprings with partial trisomy or monosomy. Therefore, we recommend the cytogenetic and the prenatal cytogenetic analysis for those who experiences recurrent abortion as well as in case they become pregnant, to prevent the birth of offsprings with chromosomal abnormalities.

One of the frequent occurrences in rearrangements is chromosome inversion. Pericentric inversion is considered to be the variant of normal karyotype. We investigated the karyotypes of 1195 cases being referred to prenatal diagnosis using standard GTG banding for karyotype preparation. The chromosomal analysis revealed a total of 15 (1.26%) inversions. The characteristics of inversion type [(inv(4), inv(8), inv(9), inv(11)) were investigated on the basis of chromosomal analyses of fetuses and their parents. The results from chromosomal examination of the parents, whose fetuses were diagnosed as inversion, show that either parent might be the carrier. Inversion in human chromosome is commonly seen in normal humans and the frequency estimated to be 1 to 2% in general population and the exact amount of this phenomenon is still unclear. These results indicate that inv(8), inv(9), and inv(11) are phenotypically normal. However these may often cause clinical problems in offspring of the carrier, such as fetal wastage repeated spontaneous abortions and infertility with unknown mechanisms related to sex. We describe an inversion of human chromosome and its clinical correlation with human genetic disease.

This study was carried out to review and evaluate a total of 2,463 cases of human chromosomal analysis at Kwangju Christian Hospital from 1974 to 2004. We collected 2.0-3.0ml of human peripheral blood in heparized bottle. Then, we cultured it for 72 hours. We performed GTG-banding and chromosomal kayotyping analysis by Cytovision kayotyping system. Abnormal karyotypes were observed in 30.5% of the total cases (750/2,463). Autosome and sex chromosome anomalies were observed in 25.8% (635/2,463) and 4.7% (115/2,463) respectively. In a total of 2463 cases, there were 522 (22.4%) cases of Down's syndrome karyotype, and 67 (2.7%) cases of Turner syndrome. In conclusion, Down's syndrome has decreased after the end of the 1990s, but other (Turner syndrome et al.) chromosomal abnormal cases haven't decreased after the1970s.

24세의 무월경을 주소로 내원한 여성에게서 세포유전학적 검사를 시행하였다. GTG-분염법 결과, 환자의 핵형이 46,X,der(X)로 관찰되어 LSI Kallmann(KAL) 형광소식자[probes for Xp22.3 (KAL)과 CEP(X) for control]로 FISH 분석을 시행하였다. 비정상 X 염색체에서는 KAL (Xp22.3)에 대한 형광이 보이지 않았고, CEP(X)에 대한 형광이 두 개씩 관찰되었다. 간기세포 FISH 분석 결과, CEP(X) 형광소식자에 대해 분석한 세포의 90%에서 세 개의 형광이, 10%의 세포에서 하나의 형광이 관찰되어 두가지 cell line이 혼재되어 있는 모자이시즘을 확인하였다. 이들 결과들을 통해 환자의 핵형이 45,X/46,X,psu idic(X)(p22.1)이며, 이는 Xqter${\rightarrow}$Xp22.1 부분은 중복되어 있고, Xpter${\rightarrow}$Xp22.1 부분은 결실된 상태로 터너 증후군의 변형된 형태임을 판명하였다. Idic(X)와 낮은 비율의 모자이시즘을 확인하는데 CEP(X) 형광소식자로 FISH를 시행하는 것이 유용하였다.
