Evidence for involvement of a Robertsonian translocation 13 chromosome in formation of a ring chromosome 13

G Stetten et al. Mol Biol Med. 1990 Dec.

Abstract

We have used molecular and cytogenetic methods to study the derivation of a ring chromosome 13 in the fetus of a woman mosaic for a translocation chromosome 13. DNA analysis showed that the translocation chromosome was a Robertsonian translocation, not an isochromosome. We suggest that the ring is derived from the translocation chromosome by breaks in both long arms and subsequent reunion, r(13) (q12q14).
