[Relationship of spontaneous chromosome instability and sister chromatid exchanges in Fanconi's anemia]. 1984

S A Nazarenko, and Iu E Burmakina

The frequency of spontaneous instability of lymphocyte chromosomes of the first 2 mitoses, the rate of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs), and the proliferative kinetics of lymphocytes were studied in a 6-year-old girl with Fanconi's anemia (FA) and in 4 healthy donors. The frequencies of aberrant cells and the total number of chromosome breaks in the FA patient decreased with cell transition from the first to the second mitosis. The FA lymphocytes had a slower proliferative kinetics and the level of SCEs was higher as compared with control. The probability of chromatid deletions at the sites of SCEs localization and in the dark and light stained chromatids was unequal. 33.8% of chromatid breaks were associated with SCEs. The data point to the relationship between SCEs and spontaneous chromosome instability in AF cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008938 Mitosis A type of CELL NUCLEUS division by means of which the two daughter nuclei normally receive identical complements of the number of CHROMOSOMES of the somatic cells of the species. M Phase, Mitotic,Mitotic M Phase,M Phases, Mitotic,Mitoses,Mitotic M Phases,Phase, Mitotic M,Phases, Mitotic M
D001973 Bromodeoxyuridine A nucleoside that substitutes for thymidine in DNA and thus acts as an antimetabolite. It causes breaks in chromosomes and has been proposed as an antiviral and antineoplastic agent. It has been given orphan drug status for use in the treatment of primary brain tumors.

D005199 Fanconi Anemia Congenital disorder affecting all bone marrow elements, resulting in ANEMIA; LEUKOPENIA; and THROMBOPENIA, and associated with cardiac, renal, and limb malformations as well as dermal pigmentary changes. Spontaneous CHROMOSOME BREAKAGE is a feature of this disease along with predisposition to LEUKEMIA. There are at least 7 complementation groups in Fanconi anemia: FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD1, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, and FANCL.
