POF localization on translocation chromosomes.
T(1;4)wm5 males stained with DAPI
(A, C, E, and
G) and anti-POF (B, D,
F, and H). The distal X chromosome
portion translocated to proximal chromosome 4 is indicated by dX, and
the proximal X region is labeled pX. The distal 4 portion translocated
to X:3C is labeled d4, whereas normal 4 is labeled 4.
(A–D) Only the normal 4 is stained when
4 and d4 are not paired. (E–H) Staining
spreads in trans when 4 and d4 are paired.
(I–L)
T(3;4)e chromosomes
stained with DAPI (I and K) and anti-POF
(J and L). Normal fourth chromosome and
proximal chromosome 4 with 3L translocated to the tip are marked 4 and
p4, respectively. Translocation breakpoints and cytology are
indicated.
