12q13 fragility in a family with recurrent spontaneous abortions: expression of the fragile site under different culture conditions
Abstract
A fragile site at the 12q13 band was found in metaphases from lymphocyte cultures of three members of a family. A comparison of the frequency and expression of the fragile site was carried out on cells cultured in RPM-I 1640 with and without BrdU and in 199 media. The fragile site was not typically folate-sensitive, being expressed in standard medium as well as in cultures after exposure to BrdU.
