Mosaicism and Chromosome-Genome Instability

This section publishes research on causes and consequences of chromosomal mosaicism and instability. Articles describing theoretical and empirical studies dedicated to exploring the origins of mosaic chromosome abnormalities and genome instability at the chromosomal level are suggested to form the essential body of the section. Descriptions of phenotypic outcomes of chromosomal mosaicism and instability are also welcome. The aim of this Molecular Cytogenetics section is to highlight the role of chromosomal mosaicism and chromosome/genome instability in health and disease.

  1. Double aneuploidy is common, especially in products of conception, frequently involving a combination of a sex chromosome and an acrocentric chromosome. Double autosomal trisomies are rare with only five cases...

  4. Chinese hamster ovary cell lines, also known as CHO cells, represent a large family of related, yet quite different, cell lines which are metabolic mutants derived from the original cell line, CHO-ori. Dihydro...

  5. Turner’s syndrome is associated with either monosomy or a wide spectrum of structural rearrangements of chromosome X. Despite the interest in studying (somatic) chromosomal mosaicism, Turner’s syndrome mosaici...

  6. Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects women. It is caused by an absent or incomplete X chromosome, which can be presented in mosaicism or not. There are 12 cases of Turner syndrome patients who pr...

  7. Full or partial monosomy of chromosome (chr) 21 is a very rare abnormal cytogenetic finding. It is characterized by variable sizes and deletion breakpoints on the long arm (q) of chr 21 that lead to a broad sp...
