Title: Demonstration of Y/autosomal translocations using distamycin A. Author: Schmid M. Journal: Hum Genet; 1979; 53(1):107-9. PubMed ID: 535895. Abstract: The condensation of the brightly fluorescing Y-heterochromatin is prevented by cultivating leukocytes in a medium containing distamycin A. This technique provides a reliable method for the identification of those Y/autosomal translocations in which Y heterochromatin is involved. A case of a familiar Y/22 translocation and the distamycin A technique are described.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
