[Trisomy 10 p. A previously reported case explained by binding].

A previously reported male infant having died at 4 months, was considered trisomic Cp, his mother being carrier of balanced translocation t(Cp-;Bq +). Reexamination of the chromosome complement after R-banding showed the translocation to be t(4;10)(q35;p11). The propositus was therefore trisomic 10p. The essential clinical features were: a small birth weight and a short birth length; hypotonia; psychomotor retardation; dolichocephalia; a high and bulky forehead; narrow lips; large, lowset ears with a posterior rotation; a small chin; bone and joint anomalies; dextrocardia.

Mapping of the gene for glutathione reductase on chromosome 8.

Red cell glutathione reductase (E-GSR) activity in 3 patients with mos46,XY/47,XY,+8 was higher than the mean value in controls, confirming the previous assignment of the E-GSR locus to chromosome 8. In a infant with a terminal deletion of the short arm of chromosome 8, 46,XX,del(8)(:p21 leads to qter), E-GSR activity was markedly lower than in infant controls. The authors suggest that the E-GSR locus is in the region 8p21 leads to pter.

Partial trisomy 9q: a new syndrome.

Two unrelated patients with a strikingly similar phenotype (low birth weight and poor thriving; mental retardation; dolichocephaly; beaked nose; deeply set eyes; prominent maxilla and receding small chin; long fingers with a peculiar clench) were partially trisomic for two different segments of 9q. The segment found to be trisomic in both patients is small and corresponds to the q31q32 region. This new syndrome is compared to observations of trisomy 9 reported in the literature.

[Gene localization in the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). Comparison with the factor mapping of man (Homo sapiens)].

Ten independant cellular hybrids were obtained from Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) fibroblasts and the murine cell line C11D. The comparison of electrophoretic and cytogenetic studies showed that 9 markers with known localizations in Man could also be localized on the homologous chromosomes of the Chimpanzee: pyrophosphate hydratase (PPH), phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM1), and peptidase-C (Pep-C) on the No. 1; malate dehydrogenase MDH(NAD) on the No. 2; lactico dehydrogenase-A (LDH-A) on the No. 11; lactico dehydrogenase-B (LDH-B) on the No. 12; thymidine kinase (TK) on the No. 17; superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD-1) on the No. 21; glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) on the X. The localization of mannose phosphate isomerase (MPI) on the No. 7 could be excluded. One discrepancy between Chimpanzee and Man was noted: the localization of superoxide dismutase-2 (SOD-2) on the 6 is excluded.

[Pericentric inversion of no. 3, homozygous and heterozygous, and centromeric transposition of no. 12 in a family of orangutans. Implications for evolution].

An orang-utan family is reported in which the father (Piku) is homozygous for a pericentric inversion of chromosome 3 and heterozygous for a structural rearrangement of chromosome 12 (author's nomenclature for this species). The latter is interpreted as transposition of the centromere by insertion into band q213 [ins cen(12)(q213)]. Piku's mate has a normal female chromosome complement. His daughters by this mate (Agnès and Ursula) are heterozygous for both his rearrangements. A fifth orang-utan (Arnold) captured on a different Malesian island was found to have one chromosome 12 similar to that of Piku, and to have a female complement, even though his keapers considered him male. Several hypotheses are proposed to explain the observations, including consanguinity, the existence of a common polymorphism in the species, and the existence of an established subspecies among orang-utans.
