Structural aberrations

Structural Aberrations

• Translocation: Broken ends of two chromosomes rejoin into non-homologous portions of chromosomes.

1. Simple translocation: A piece of one chromosome goes and attaches to another chromosome.

2. Reciprocal Translocation: Involves the exchange of segments between two non-homologous chromosomes.

Both the homologous chromosome exchange parts with two

•Heterozygous reciprocal translocation

If only one member of each of the two homologous pair

exchange the parts.

DuplicationThe presence of an additional chromosome

segment, as compared to that normally present in a nucleus is known as Duplication.

• Four types of duplication:

1. Tandem duplication

2. Reverse tandem duplication

3. Displaced duplication

4. Translocation duplication

Chromosome conservation

Studies based on :

1. Constant autosomal arm number (NAA) ranging from 30-60.

2. Chromosomal mutation- Centric fusion.

3. Similarity in the chromosome arms noticed based on various banding techniques.

Comparison of Chromosomes of Livestock

• Cattle & Goat have 60 pairs and Sheep has 54 pairs. • All autosomes are acrocentric in Cattle and Goats.

The X-chromosome Goat - acrocentric Cattle's -X sub-metacentric)

Y ChromosomeSmallerLarger

In sheep the same differences in the sex-chromosomes are found, but in addition there are three centromere fusions of autosomes.

The chromosomes, 1/3, 2/8 and 5/11, are fused in comparison with those in cattle and goat. Therefore, the sheep has only 54 chromosomes.

Chromosomes of Buffaloes50,XX or 50XY

Based on banding the chromosome 1 to 5 in buffaloes has been formed by centric fusion of ten acrocentric autosomes of cattle:

1 and 27, 2 and 23, 8 and 19, 5 and 28 and 16 and 29, respectively.

Comparison of River and Swamp Buffalo

• Riverine Buffalo-2n=50 Chromosome 4 &9 are separate.

• Swamp Buffalo-2n=48 Chromosome 4 & 9 appear as enlarged pair due to chromosome translocation.

• Crossbreds -2n=49 due to the 4/9 tandem fusion

• F2’s may have 2n as 48,49 and 50.

• Beyond 75% inheritance 2n=50

X chromosome homology

Cattle- Submetacentric

River Buffalo -Acrocentric

Sheep-Acrocentric with small visible ‘p’ armBands are conserved except that in Buffaloes the centromere is repositioned with loss of constitutive heterochromatin.Comparison of Bovine with Caprine -four chromosome transposition including centromere repositioning

Y chromosome homology

Bos taurus -Submetacentric

Bos indicus -Acrocentric with small visible pericentric inversion

Buffaloes-It larger than Bos taurus of because of addition of heterochromatic region

Klinefelter syndrome

Freemartin• Infertile female when born as a co-twin to a

male calf

• The calf will have masculanized behaviour and non functioning ovaries

35Dr R Jayashree, Asst. Prof(AGB), Veterinary College, Bangalore

Karyotype of freemartin

It is Chimeric with the sample of cells showing XX/XY chromosomes. and pigs

Externally, the animal appears female, but various aspects of female reproductive development are altered due to acquisition of anti-Müllerianhormone from the male twin.

It also occurs occasionally in other mammals including sheep, goats and pigs

36Dr R Jayashree, Asst. Prof(AGB), Veterinary College, Bangalore

Freemartinism

The animal originates as a female (XX), but acquires the male (XY) component in utero by exchange of some cellular material from a male twin, via vascular connections between placentas

37Dr R Jayashree, Asst. Prof(AGB), Veterinary College, Bangalore

Cri-du-chat (Cat cry syndrome):

The name of the syndrome came from a cat like mewing cry from small weak infants with the disorder.

Other characteristics are microcephaly (small head), broad face and saddle nose, physical and mental retardation.

Cri-du-chat patients die in infancy or early childhood.

The chromosome deficiency is in the short arm of chromosome 5 .

Myelocytic leukemia

A deletion of chromosome 22 was described by P.C.Nowelland Hungerford and was called “Philadelphia” (Ph’)chromosome after the city in which the discovery was made.
