Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for an ancestral alphoid domain on the long arm of human chromosome 2.
TL;DR: In situ hybridization, under low stringency conditions with two alphoid DNA probes (pYα1 and p82H) labeled with digoxigenin-dUTP, decorated all the centromeres of the human karyotype, indicating that not only the telomeric sequences, but also the ancestral centromere (or at least itsAlphoid sequences), have been conserved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alternate centromere inactivation in a pseudodicentric (15;20)(pter;pter) associated with a progressive neurological disorder.
Horacio Rivera,Orsetta Zuffardi,Paola Maraschio,A. Caiulo,Cecilia Anichini,Scarinci R,R. Vivarelli +6 more
TL;DR: It is postulated that the patient's disorder, reminiscent of a spongy glioneuronal dystrophy as seen in Alper's and Creutzfeldt-Jakob diseases, may be secondary to the presence of the pathogenic isoform of the prion protein encoded by a gene mapped to 20p12----pter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional assignment of the loci for adenylate kinase to 9q32 and for α1-acid glycoprotein to 9q31-q32: a locus for Goltz syndrome in region 9q32-qter?
Orsetta Zuffardi,A. Caiulo,Paola Maraschio,Rossella Tupler,E. Bianchi,Paola Amisano,Giampiero Beluffi,R. Moratti,G. Liguri +8 more
TL;DR: Normal levels of adenylate kinase (AK-1) and of α1-acid glycoprotein (ORM1) were found in a girl with a deletion 9q32-qter secondary to a maternal translocation, thus excluding these loci from the deleted region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deletion of the distal short arm of the X chromosome (Xp) in a patient with short stature, chondrodysplasia punctata, and X-linked ichthyosis due to steroid sulfatase deficiency.
Andrea Ballabio,Massimo Zollo,Romeo Carrozzo,A. Caiulo,Orsetta Zuffardi,C. F. Cascioli,D. Viggiano,Pietro Strisciuglio +7 more
TL;DR: A boy with short stature, chondrodysplasia punctata, ichthyosis, and a terminal deletion of Xp was observed, and molecular analysis showed a deletion of the entire steroid sulfatase gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deletion of specific sequences or modification of centromeric chromatin are responsible for Y chromosome centromere inactivation.
Paola Maraschio,Orsetta Zuffardi,A. Caiulo,Eleonora Dainotti,M. Piantanida,Horacio Rivera,Rossella Tupler +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the phenomenon of inactivation in two Y centromeres, having as a control genetically identical active and inactive Y centromres, and concluded that, in the case of the isochromosome, a true deletion of centromeric chromatin is responsible for its stability, whereas in the second case, stability of the dicentric (X;Y) is the result of centromeere chromatin modification.
