Optical density profile analysis of trypsin-Giemsa bands in human X-chromosomes. 1993

E Pásaro, and R Fernández, and J Méndez
Department of Psychobiology (Genetics), University of La Coruña, Spain.

Mean Optical Density (M.O.D.) determination of six G-bands on X-chromosomes was performed on 45 patients with Turner's syndrome and compared with X-chromosomes from women controls with a normal karyotype by a Chromosome Image Analysis System. Density profiles were constructed to obtain standard values for the staining intensity and frequency of occurrence of chromosome bands. Statistical analysis showed that the M.O.D. were significantly different for Xq12, Xq21, Xq25 and Xq27 G-bands between the Turner and Control groups. Most within-group differences were small and appeared not to be statistically significant.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002871 Chromosome Banding Staining of bands, or chromosome segments, allowing the precise identification of individual chromosomes or parts of chromosomes. Applications include the determination of chromosome rearrangements in malformation syndromes and cancer, the chemistry of chromosome segments, chromosome changes during evolution, and, in conjunction with cell hybridization studies, chromosome mapping. Banding, Chromosome,Bandings, Chromosome,Chromosome Bandings
D005260 Female Females
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D001399 Azure Stains PHENOTHIAZINES with an amino group at the 3-position that are green crystals or powder. They are used as biological stains. Giemsa Stain,Giemsa-11,Giemsa 11,Stain, Giemsa,Stains, Azure
D014357 Trypsin A serine endopeptidase that is formed from TRYPSINOGEN in the pancreas. It is converted into its active form by ENTEROPEPTIDASE in the small intestine. It catalyzes hydrolysis of the carboxyl group of either arginine or lysine. EC 3.4.21.4. Tripcellim,Trypure,beta-Trypsin,beta Trypsin
D014424 Turner Syndrome A syndrome of defective gonadal development in phenotypic females associated with the karyotype 45,X (or 45,XO). Patients generally are of short stature with undifferentiated GONADS (streak gonads), SEXUAL INFANTILISM, HYPOGONADISM, webbing of the neck, cubitus valgus, elevated GONADOTROPINS, decreased ESTRADIOL level in blood, and CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS. NOONAN SYNDROME (also called Pseudo-Turner Syndrome and Male Turner Syndrome) resembles this disorder; however, it occurs in males and females with a normal karyotype and is inherited as an autosomal dominant.

D014960 X Chromosome The female sex chromosome, being the differential sex chromosome carried by half the male gametes and all female gametes in human and other male-heterogametic species. Chromosome, X,Chromosomes, X,X Chromosomes
D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
