Pericentric inversion of chromosome 19 in three families.

Pericentric inversion of chromosome 19 has been found in several members of three unrelated families from a restricted geographical region. In one of the families, an additional pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 was observed. Reproductive problems, multiple abortions in two families and a neonatal death in the third, were present. A review of previously described cases is included, and the genetic risk connected with this type of rearrangement is also discussed.

Unusual vascular malformation of the kidney in both twins of a monozygotic pair: short case report.

A case of double bilateral renal vessels in both twins of a MZ pair is reported for the first time. Even in non-twins, the anomalies reported so far involved the inferior polar arteries in agreement with the embryological development. The two male twins, examined at the age of 14 years, had simultaneously developed a marked hypertension at the age of 7 years. Zygosity was determined by blood group and HLA analysis and various clinical tests were carried out to diagnose the condition. It is suggested that the anomaly is the result of a genetically induced early block in embryonic development.

Familial centric fission of chromosome 4.

A centric fission of chromosome 4 is described in the proband and his mother, both phenotypically normal. In addition, partial monosomy for the long arm or the short arm or both of chromosome 4 may have been present in two of the proband's sibs who died in infancy and childhood, respectively.

Involvement of the 4q21 region in human malignant melanomas: cytogenetic and immunocytochemical characterization of three primary cell cultures.

The GRO1 oncogene (melanoma growth-stimulating activity alpha) has been localized in region 4q21. The involvement of this chromosomal region in clonal aberrations found in primary melanoma cell cultures could have an important role in the etiology and pathogenesis of this tumor. We characterized three primary cell cultures obtained from different patients, each of which showed clonal chromosomal aberrations involving the 4q21 region.
