Chromosome analysis using karyotyping and bicolor FISH were carried out for two Maackia species (M. fauriei and M. amurensis) found in Korea. The somatic metaphase chromosome number was 2n = 2x = 18 in both, and the size of these chromosomes ranged from 3.58 to $5.82{\mu}m$. The chromosome complements consisted of two pairs of metacentric (chromosomes 1 and 7), four pairs of submetacentrics (chromosomes 4, 6, 8 and 9) and three pairs of subtelocentrics (chromosomes 2, 3 and 5) in M. fauriei but, chromosomes 4 (subtelocentric) and 7 (submetacentric) of M. amurensis have different morphology. Using bicolor FISH, a pair of 45S rDNA loci were observed for both M. fauriei and M. amurensis, but the number and site of the 5S rDNA signal were different in the two species. M. fauriei has two pairs of 5S signals on chromosomes 7 and 8 but, M. amurensis has four paris on chromosomes 3, 4, 7 and 7. Hence, the 5S rDNA is a useful FISH for Maackia species.

Chromosome complements of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were studied using several tissues which involving testis, leukocytes and embryos. The diploid count was estimated to be 2n＝78. Analyzing the metaphase of secondary meiosis in spermatocytes, the haploid count estimated to be n＝39. Morphometric analysis were studied by the centromeric index and relative length of 8 macro-chromosomes and Z, W chromosomes The differences of morphological feature were not significant among tissues. Exceptionally the chromosome 4 shelved a considerable variety in the presence of it's short arm.

율무(Coix lacryma-jobi)의 핵형 분석을 한 결과 1번 염색체는 short arm과 long arm의 크기가 같은 metacentric chromosome이었으며, 전체의 염색체에 대한 상대적인 길이가 12.8로 가장 길었다. 1번 염색체는 단완과 장완의 양쪽 터미널에 각각 하나씩의 밴드를 나타냈으며 단완과 장완 각각에 interstitial band가 나타났다. 또한 1번 염색체는 단완 끝에 부수체를 갖는 NOR 염색체임을 알 수 있었다. 2번 염색체는 Short arm에 비해 long arm이 길었으며, 전체의 염색체에 대한 상대적인 길이는 11.8로 1번 염색체 다음으로 길었다. 2번 염색체 단완 끝에 하나의 터미널 밴드와 양완의 중간에 각각 interstitial 밴드를 나타냈다. 3번 염색체는 2번 염색체 보다 short arm의 길이보다 더 짧았으며, 상대적인 길이는 10.8로 2번 염색체보다 짧았다. 3번 염색체는 단완 끝에 하나의 terminal 밴드와 centromere 밴드를 나타냈다.(중략)

Purpose : The prevalence of renal malformation in Turner syndrome has been quoted as being greater than 50% in older series. Recently in 1988, Lippe's review gave a prevalence of 33%, significantly lower than all previous reports. In 1996, Flynn reported that renal malformation occurs in approximately 24% of all girls with Turner syndrome, and that it is seldom seen in girls with mosaic karyotype who form the predominant subgroup. The aim of this study was to evaluate prevalence of renal malformation by karyotype in Turner syndrome in Korea. Method : We evaluated 81 patients with Turner sundrome diagnosed in Yonsei University from Jan. 1987 to Dec. 1996. The patient entered in this study were those for whom both karyotype and ultrasound examination of the kidney were available. Result : 1) The karyotype showed: 45,X ; 29 cases (38%), mosaicism : 32 cases (40%), structural aberration ; 17 cases (22%). 2) Of the 29 cases of pure 45,X karyotype, 5(17%) had abnormal renal findings, while these were found in only 1 of the 30 mosaic cases(3.3%), and in 1 of the 17 structural aberration cases(6%). The malformation included 3 cases of horseshoe kidney, 2 cases of axial malrotation, hypoplastic kidney and simple cyst each one. There was no statistical significance between 3 groups (p=0.09). Conclusion : We conclude that renal malformation occurs in 9.2% in this study, therefore Korean girls with Turner syndrome have lower rates of renal malformation.

Karyotypic analysis was performed for Labridae fishes, Pseudolabrus japonicus, Halicho eres tenuispinis, H. poecilopterus and Pteragogus flagellifera from coastal area of Cheju Island in Korea. The chromosome numbers(Karyotypes) were 42(4M+24SM+14ST, A), 48(2M+2SM+44ST, A), 48(2M+46ST, A) and 42(4M+24SM+14ST, A) in P. japonicus, H. tenuispinis, H. poecilopterus and P. flagellifera, respectively. Heteromorphic sex chromosome was not found in both sexes of each Labridae fishes. However, large satellites were located on the largest subtelocentrics in P. japonicus and P. flagellifera.

Purpose: Cytogenetic analysis of spontaneous abortions (SABs) provides valuable information to establish the causes of fetal loss, information that is essential to provide accurate reproductive and genetic counseling couples. Such analysis also provides information on the frequencies and types of chromosomal abnormalities and associated risks of recurrence. However, there have only been a few reports of chromosomal abnormalities in small samples of SABs in the Korean population. Here, we report the incidence and spectrum of chromosomal abnormalities for cases of 470 SAB in Korea. Material and Methods: Between 2005 and 2010, a total of 470 products of conception (POC) resulting from SABs were submitted to our laboratory for cytogenetic analysis from various medical sites in Korea. The incidences and types of specific chromosomal abnormalities were determined. The abnormalities were distinguished by gestational age at the time of SAB and by maternal age. Results: The frequency of chromosomal abnormalities in POCs was 54.3% (255/470), including 228 (89.3%) numerical and 27 (10.7%: 3 balanced and 24 unbalanced) structural abnormalities. Among the numerical abnormalities, trisomy was predominant (67.0%), followed by monosomy X (12.5%), polyploidy (8.2%), triple X (0.8%), and autosomal monosomy (0.8%). The overall sex ratio (male: female) among the 470 POCs with normal and abnormal karyotypes were 0.58 and 0.65, respectively. Trisomies were identified for each autosome, with the exceptions of 1, 3, and 19. Among the 171 autosomal trisomies, trisomy 16 was the most common (19.9%), followed by trisomy 22 (13.5%), trisomy 21 (12.3 %), trisomy 15 (9.9%), and trisomies 18 and 13 (5.3%). The frequency of chromosomal abnormalities decreased with gestational age and increased with maternal age, but only because of increases in trisomies and complex abnormalities. Conclusions: We have presented a large collection of cytogenetic data for SABs collected during the past 6 years and provided a database for prenatal genetic counseling of parents who have experienced SABs in Korea.
