23
Q

occurs between acrocentric chromosomes (13/14/15/21/22)

A

robertsonian translocation

24
Q

robertsonian translocations

A

results in loss of non-critical genes in the short arm regions of the chromosomes involved

25
45,XX,der(13;14)(q10;q10)
robertsonian translocation
26
robertsonian translocation (2)
(1) count is decreased to 45 | (2) q10 means that the creak is in the centromere and the long arm is present
27
balanced or unbalanced: 46, XY, t(1;8)(p22;q24)
balanced
28
balanced or unbalanced: 46, XX, der(8)t(1;8)(p22;q24)
unbalances der(8) abnormal chromosome
29
balanced or unbalanced: 45,WW,der(13;14)(q10;q10)
balanced-- Robertsonian
30
When there is an abnormal X
abnormal X inactivated if has XIST
31
when there is a translocation between X and autosome
normal x inactivated
32
when there is a unbalanced x translocation
abnormal x inactivated
33
pericentric
around centromere inversion
34
paracentric
outside centromere
35
not present at birth
acquired changes
36
cancer associated translocations like
t(9;22)
37
philadelphia chromosome
der(22)
38
t(9;22)
balanced translocation
39
presence of additional karyotype changes
clonal evolution
40
clona evolution is associated with
disease progression
41
complex cancer changes affects cells in the
bone marrow
42
why do translocations recur in cancer?
breakpoints= location of oncogenes- genes involved in driving cell cycle which result in production of abnormal protein that cannot be regulated/overproduction of a normal protein
43
why do deletions happen in cancer?
loss of one copy of gene and possible inactivation of the other copy removes cell cycle control point
44
constitutional trisomy
13,18,21
45
acquired trisomy
any
46
constitutional trisomy origin
meisosis
47
acquired trisomy origin
mitosis
48
constitutional monosomy
X
49
acquired monosomy
any
50
constitutional translocation balanced
no impact on phenotype; mostly unique to family
51
acquired translocation balanced
diagnostic, recurrent
52
constitutional translocation unbalanced
abnormal phenotype
53
acquired translocation unbalanced
normal phenotype
54
constitutional where
majority of cells
55
acquired where
site of cancer
