노래미와 쥐노래미의 유전적인 종 동정의 확립과 우량 품종 개발을 위한 유전 육종학적 연구의 기초 자료를 얻고자, 최근 양식 대상어로 대두되고 있는 두 어종을 대상으로 적혈구 세포와 핵의 크기, DNA 함량, 핵형 분석 등의 세포유전학적 연구를 수행하였다. 노래미의 적혈구 세포의 크기는 장, 단축이 각각 $9.76{\pm}0.27{\mu}m^2$, $6.35{\pm}0.07{\mu}m$로, 쥐노래미의 $9.17{\pm}0.05{\mu}m$, $6.2424{\pm}0.04{\mu}m$ 보다 크게 나타났으며 , 표면적과 부피 역시 노래미가 $48.62{\pm}1.74{\mu}m^2$, $213.67{\pm}7.51{\mu}m^3$로 쥐노래미의 적혈구 세포 표면적 $44.85{\pm}0.44{\mu}m^2$, 부피 $187.57{\pm}2.45{\mu}m^3$보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한 노래미의 DNA 함량은 2.15$\pm$0.04pg, 쥐노래미는 2.10$\pm$0.03pg으로 핵의 크기와 유사한 양상을 나타내었다. 노래미와 쥐노래미의 염색체수는 48개로 동일한 핵형으로 구성되어 있었으며, NOR분석 결과 역시 두 종에서 1쌍의 acrocentric chromosome의 short arm에서 NOR이 확인되었다. 성별에 따른 염색체의 수적 차이나 hetero-morphic한 염색체, 그리고 개체간 염색체 다형 현상은 관찰되지 않았다.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC) is notorious for its poor outcome and increasing incidence. But, the studies of cytogenetic analysis in HNSCC are relatively rare, because of difficulties in culturing solid tumor cells and complexity in chromosomal DNA abberations associated with the lesions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the location of chromosomal aberrations in Korean HNSCC cell lines (SNU-1041, 1066, and 1076) with comparative genomic hybridization(CGH) and array based CGH(array-CGH). Chromosomal gains of 3q23-q27, 5p13-p15.3, 7p21-pter, 8q11.2-q12, 8q21.1-qter, 9q22-q34, 16q22-q24, and 20q11.2-qter, as well as chromosomal losses on 3p10-p14 were found in all 3 SNU cell lines. Losses on 3p15- p23, 4q22-q27, 4q31.3-qter, 6q14-q15, 7q31-q34, 8p12-pter, 18q21-q23, and 21q11.2-q12 were observed in 2 of 3 cell lines. In array-CGH, many genes were altered including gains of PIK3CA, MYC, EVI1, MAD1L1 genes and losses of SERPIN genes. These aberrations of gene and chromosome coincide with other results of study, generally. These data about the patterns of chromosomal aberrations could be a basic step for understanding more detailed genetic events in the carcinogenesis and also provide information for diagosis and treatment in HNSCC.

Genetic changes associated with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) provide very important diagnostic and prognostic information with a direct impact on patient management. Detection of chromosome abnormalities by conventional cytogenetics combined with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) play a very significant role in assessing risk stratification. Identification of specific chromosome abnormalities has led to the recognition of genetic subgroups based on reciprocal translocations, deletions and modal number in B or T-cell ALL. In the last twelve years 102 newly diagnosed childhood/adult ALL bone marrow samples were analysed for chromosomal abnormalities with conventional G-banding, and FISH (selected cases) using specific probes in our hospital. G-banded karyotype analysis found clonal numerical and/or structural chromosomal aberrations in 74.2% of cases. Patients with pseudodiploidy represented the most frequent group (38.7%) followed by high hyperdiploidy group (12.9%), low hyperdiploidy group (9.7%), hypodiploidy (<46) group (9.7%) and high hypertriploidy group (3.2%). The highest observed numerical chromosomal alteration was high hyperdiploidy (12.9%) with abnormal karyotypes while abnormal 12p (7.5%) was the highest observed structural abnormality followed by t(12;21)(p13.3;q22) resulting in ETV6/RUNX1 fusion (5.4%) and t(9;22)(q34.1;q11.2) resulting in BCR/ABL1 fusion (4.3%). Interestingly, we identified 16 cases with rare and complex structural aberrations. Application of the FISH technique produced major improvements in the sensitivity and accuracy of cytogenetic analysis with ALL patients. In conclusion it confirmed heterogeneity of ALL by identifying various recurrent chromosomal aberrations along with non-specific rearrangements and their association with specific immunophenotypes. This study pool is representative of paediatric/adult ALL patients in Oman.

This study was carried out to compare chromosomal characteristics between Atractylodes japonica and A macrocephala. Cytogenetic analysis was conducted based on karyotype analysis and physical mapping using fluorescence in situ hybridization. As a result of karyotype analysis by feulgen staining, somatic chromosome numbers of A. japonica and A. macrocephala were 2n=24. The length. of the mitotic metaphase chromosomes of A. japonica ranged from $0.70\;to\;1.60{\mu}m$ with a total length. of $12.11{\mu}m$ and the homologous chromosome complement comprised six metacentrics, five submetacentrics and one subtelocentrics. On the other hand, the length of the mitotic metaphase chromosomes of A. macrocephala ranged from $0.90\;to\;2.35{\mu}m$ with a total length of $16.58{\mu}m$ and the homologous chromosome complement comprised seven metacentrics and five submetacentrics. The total length of A. japonica chromosomes was shorter than that of A. macrocephala, but A. japonica had one subtelocentrics (chromosomes 4) different from A. macrocepha1a. chromosomes. The F1SH technique using 17S and 5S rDNA was applied to metaphase chromosomes. The signals for 17S rDNA were detected on the telomeric regions of chromosomes 4 and 5 in both A japonica and A. macrocephala. The 5S rDNA signal was found in the short arm of chromosome 1.

Purpose: To identify the clinical characteristics of SRY-negative male patients and genes related to male sex reversal, we performed a retrospective study using cases of 46,XX testicular disorders of sex development with a review of the literature. Materials and Methods:SRY-negative cases of 46,XX testicular disorders of sex development referred for cytogenetic analysis from 1983 to 2013 were examined using clinical findings, seminal analyses, basal hormone profiles, conventional cytogenetic analysis and polymerase chain reaction. Results: Chromosome analysis of cultured peripheral blood cells of 8,386 individuals found 19 cases (0.23%) with 46,XX testicular disorders of sex development. The SRY gene was confirmed to be absent in three of these 19 cases (15.8%). Conclusion: We report three rare cases of SRY-negative 46,XX testicular disorders of sex development. Genes on autosomes and the X chromosome that may have a role in sex determination were deduced through a literature review. These genes, through differences in gene dosage variation, may have a role in sex reversal in the absence of SRY.

Endocrine disruptors have been implicated in carcinogenesis in animal studies, but carcinogenetic effects on human remain controversial. In order to examine the genotoxicity of two common endocrine disruptors, Bisphenol A and Diethylstilbestrol, cytogenetic endpoints including chromosome aberration(CA), sister chromatid exchange (SCE), micronuclei (MN) analyses and DNA damage by single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) were assayed.(omitted)

In order to evaluate the cytogenetic hazard among hospital workers potentially exposed to low dose of radiation, the analysis of chromosome aberrations(CA) and sister chromatid exchanges(SCE) in lymphocytes were performed in 79 hospital workers and 79 non-exposed workers. The mean frequency of chromosomal exchange and deletion(respectively, $0.20\times10^{-2}/cell\;and\;0.39\times10^{-2}/cell$) in the exposed group were significantly higher than those$(0.07\times10^{-2}/cell\;and\;0.23\times10^{-2}/cell)$ in control group. The frequency of sister chromatid exchanges was 5.04/cell in the control vs. 6.57/cell in the exposed group. There were also significant differences in the mean frequencies of CA and SCE adjusted for age, sex, smoking, drinking between two groups. There were no evidence of significant increase of CA and SCE according to the department or duration of employment. But the frequency of cells having chromosome aberration was significantly higher in the exposed group than in the control group related to duration of employment. There was no dose-effect relationship between the cumulative doses and the frequency of CA and SCE. But in the case of last 1 yr cumulative dose, there were evidence of significant dose-dependant increase of chromosome type CA and percentage of cells with aberration. The result suggest that there is cytogenetic hazard in risk group like hospital workers handling low dose radiation. And the analysis CA and SCE are useful biological indicators for the exposure of low dose level of radiation.

우리나라 고유 담수 어종인 쉬리(Coreoleuciscus splendidus; Cyprinidae)를 대상으로 세포크기, 염색체 수 분석, 핵형 분석, 세포당 DNA 함량 조사 등 세포유전학적 연구를 실시하였다. 쉬리 암,수의 염색체 modal number는 모두 2n = 48로 나타났으나 암,수간 형태가 다른 성염색체(sex chromosome)가 관찰되었다. 쉬리 암컷은 10쌍의 중부염색체, 6쌍의 차중부염색체, 8쌍의 차단부염색체 그리고 XX 염색체로 나타났고, 반면 수컷은 10쌍의 중부, 6쌍의 차중부 및 8쌍의 차단부염색체와 함께 XY 성염색체를 나타냄으로써 전형적인 XX-XY의 성 결정 기작(sex determination mechanism)을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 쉬리는 1쌍의 Ag-NOR을 차단부 상동염색체에 갖고 있었고, 쉬리의 세포당 평균 DNA 함량은 flow cytometry 분석을 통해 2.4 pg/cell로 나타났다. 적혈구 세포 크기를 분석을 통해 핵 용적을 평가한 결과 암수 모두 $28\;{\mu}m^3$를 나타내었다. 본 세포유전학적 분석 결과를 통해 본 어종은 진화과정 중 여러 잉어과 어류에서 관찰되는 배수성에 의한 진화 보다는 유전자 재조합 등 점 돌연변이가 진화가 기본 기작이었을 것으로 판단된다.
