COLUMBUS, Ohio – Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who enter remission with abnormal chromosomes in bone marrow cells are twice as vulnerable to recurrence of their disease as are AML ...

The presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in the genetic profile of early-stage embryos may be far more common - and potentially less threatening - during normal human development than is ...

A 6-week-old female infant was admitted to the Massachusetts General Hospital because of choking while feeding. The mother and father, 27 and 28 years of age, respectively, were healthy. The pregnancy ...

Researchers report surprising results of experiments intended to explore the consequences of having too many or too few chromosomes, a phenomenon that biologists call aneuploidy. They were surprised ...

The current study shows that cells with additional chromosomes have an altered mitochondrial structure and function. The reason: mitochondrial precursor proteins are sequestered in p62-positive ...

I still recall my disappointment one day in 2015. I received the tumor DNA sequencing results for one of my patients, whose cancer had spread from her lungs to her brain. I saw not a single genetic ...

MONGOLISM is usually the result of trisomy of a small acrocentric chromosome in Group 21–22 in the Denver Classification. This is generally referred to as 21-trisomy. These patients have a somatic ...

A new study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center finds that, in healthy women, some breast cells that otherwise appear normal may contain chromosome abnormalities ...

Cytogenetic technologists analyze chromosomes found in biological specimens such as amniotic fluids, bone marrow, and blood to aid in the study, diagnosis, or treatment of genetic diseases.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a suite of algorithms to automate the counting of sister ...
