Introduction to cytogenetic
CYTOGENETICS DEFINITION :
Cytogenetics is the
study of chromosomes
and its abnormalities:
alteration in the
number and structure.
MILESTONES IN CYTOGENETICS:
• Arnold: First observed chromosomes:1879
• Hansemann & Flemming Counted the
chromosomes: 1891
• Winiwarter: Isolated X chromosome
• Painter: Isolated Y chromosome
• Tijio and Levan: 1956: Described correct
chromosome number as 22 pair of autosomes and
2 sex chromosomes.
• Levan introduced the use of Colchicine to arrest
mitosis at metaphase.
• Hsu,Makino & Nishimura and Hughes- Hypotonic
technique: In 1952 in karyotyping.
• Gall and Prudue described in situ hybridization
techniques.
Chromosome
Is a packaged and organized structure containing
the DNA of a living organism
Types of chromosomes
CELL CYCLE
• Interphase – G1, S, G2
• M phase (Mitosis)
• G0 – NO cell division
INDICATIONS FOR CYTOGENETIC ANALYSIS
• Prenatal – pregnancies involving older (>35yrs)
women.
• Confirmation or exclusion of diagnosis - known
chromosomal syndromes.
• Unexplained psychomotor retardation with or
without dysmorphic features.
• Abnormalities of sexual differentiation and
development - ambiguous genitalia.
Continued..
• Recurrent miscarriage, stillbirth or spontaneous
abortions.
• Females with proportionate short stature and primary
amenorrhea.
• Parents and children of persons with chromosomal
translocations, deletions and duplications.
• Pregnancies at risk of aneuploidy from results of fetal
ultrasound.
• Neoplastic conditions- soft tissues and hematological.
APPROACH TO THE DIAGNOSIS OF
CYTOGENETIC DISORDERS
1. Karyotyping
2. Insitu hybridization
3. Fluorescence insitu hybridization
4. Spectral karyotyping
5. Comparative genomic hybridization
KARYOTYPE
• Standard display of stained and photographed
chrosmosomes in metaphase spread, arranged
in pairs, in order of decreasing length.
• Human somatic cells - 22 pair of autosomes
identical in male and female
• 2 sex chromosomes
XX - female &
XY - males.
1. TISSUE SAMPLES & CELL CULTURE:
• Prenatal
- Amniotic fluid- 20ml
- Chorionic villi- 25mg of Vascularised and budding
villi from chorion frondosum
- PUBS(percutaneous umbilical blood sampling)
• Postnatal
– Peripheral blood – 4 ml of heparinised
– Skin fibroblasts- 4mm diameter
– Bone marrow- 1 ml of heparinised bone
marrow.
– Lymph node- 0.5 to 1 cm3
– Solid tumors- Part of specimen submitted for
histopathological examination. Ideally 0.5-1 gm
2. Culture
• Culture medium – Preservative free sodium
heparin, (RPMI 1640 ), mitotic stimulant
(phytohemagglutinin) and antibiotics(
penicillin, streptomycin ).
• Short term culture: 1-3 days – blood,
bonemarrow, chorionic villi
• Long term culture: 1-3 wks - other tissue
types
3. Arrest of cell division:
at metaphase,
by Colchicine [Deacetyl methyl colchicine] for
20 min.
4. Cells harvested – centrifugation

Incubated for 10min in hypotonic solution
(dilute solution of KCl 0.075 mol) .
5. Cell fixation- 3:1 methanol/ glacial acetic acid
mixture (carnoy’s) for 30min.
6. Staining : Trypsinization of the chromosomes prior
to staining, weakens the DNA-Protein interactions,
add buffer (Na2HPO4 and NaH2PO4), banding
techniques done with the dyes.
7. Microscopic analysis and photography
8. Karyotype production (manual/automated)
9. Interpretation
Staining
Q-banding-
• The first banding
method developed
• Uses quinacrine mustard
or quinacrine
dihydrochloride,
• creates a flourescent
transfers band on
exposure to UV light,
• Q- bands fade over time
not routinely used .
G-banding
• Uses Giemsa dye to produce
transverse bands light (G-C
rich DNA) dark band (A-T rich
DNA)
• G-bands are identical to Q-
bands
• G-banding is the most widely
used banding technique for
routine chromosome analysis
• Around 400 bands per haploid
genome seen. Each band
corresponds to 5-10megabases
R-banding
• Treating chromosomes with
a hot alkaline solution
before Giemsa staining
• Produces bands that are the
reverse of G-bands, called R-
bands.
• In R banding telomeres
should appear as dark bands
and their absence as the
result of deletion is more
obvious.
C-banding
• selectively stains constitutive
heterochromatin, and are
located at all centromeres
and distal long arm of Y
chromosome.
• Staining with giemsa followed
by heat denaturation results
in darkly staining
heterochromatic regions at
centromere with light staining
chromosome arms.
Nuclear organizing region(NOR) banding
• Specific chromosomal region that forms and maintain
the nucleoli are called NOR.
• NOR located on stalk of acrocentric chromosomes and
contain gene for 18S and 28S rRNA.
• Stained by Geimsa (N- banding) or silver impregnation (
Ag-NOR)
Successful cytogenetic analysis depends on –
- Cells must be in adequate numbers
- Analysis must be performed on viable cells in
division
- Chromosomes must be separated from one
another
- Chromosomes must be identified & characterized
normal/abnormal
- Arranged according to the length in a decreasing
order.
• Karyotyping
Chromosome from each metaphase spread
are arranged in prescribed order – karyotype
cells – imaged, printed & karyotyped
ISCN
International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature.
• Centromere divide the chromosome into short arm and long am
• Chromosome arms divided into regions on the basis of landmarks
The region adjacent to centromere of short arm and long arm
are given number 1 as p1, q1 respectively, the next distal region is
given 2 and so on
• The regions are subdivided into bands and the bands are
subdivided into sub bands as the resolution increases and the
numbering done sequentially
ISCN of chromosome 11
In situ hybridization
• Hybridization refers to the binding or
annealing of complementary DNA or RNA
sequences
• Main purpose – detection of specific nucleic
acid sequences in chromosomes.
• In early studies, radio isotopes were used as
labels for nucleic acids, and detection of
hybridized sequence were done with
autoradiography.
• As technology advanced, detection by
enzymatic and fluorescent means become
available for quick and safe analysis.
• Uses- Detection of missing,additional
chromosomes,chromosome rearrangements
and microdeletions.
Fluorescent in situ hybridization
The probe and metaphase target are denatured by a high
temperature and formamide.
Probe is hybridized to the chromosomal target.
Unbound probe is removed by post hybridization
washes.
Bound probe is detected by fluorescence microscopy
Types of probes
1] Centromere enumerating
probe(CEP) -
Bind to highly repitative
sequence alpha satellite
sequences of centromere
and produce strong signals.
Similar sequences in
pericentric region results in
cross hybridization artifact.
2] Locus specific
identifier(LSI) probe
Target distinct
chromosomal region of
interest and utilize single
copy rather than
repetitive DNA.
3] Whole chromosomes probes
Also known as chromosome
painting probes or
chromosomes libraries,
consists of thousands of
overlapping probes that
recognize unique and
moderately repetitive
sequences along the entire
length of individual
chromosomes
Advantages –
- Many more cells can be examined at a single time.
- Metaphases are not essential, so abnormalities can
be detected in non dividing cells.
- Can be performed in a shorter period of time.
- Abnormalities that cannot be detected by
conventional cytogenetic analysis may be detected.
Main disadvantage –
- Only those abnormalities that are specifically sought
will be found whereas conventional analysis permits
all chromosomes to be evaluated
SPECTRAL KARYOTYPING (multicolor
fluorescence in-situ hybridization)
• 24-colour, multi-chromosomal painting assay that
allows visualization of all human chromosomes in
one experiment.
• Uses –
1. Ability to detect complex chromosomal
rearrangements.
2. Identifies marker chromosomes– makes this highly
sensitive and valuable tool for identifying recurrent
chromosomal abnormalities.
Spectral karyotyping
chromosomes of a single cell
Pepsin treatment( at 37 degree C for 3-5 min)
labeled with a different combination of fluorescent
dyes and allowed to hybridize, specific for each
chromosome
Imaged immediately and Spectral karyotype done
using SPK View software
SPK
Comparative genomic hybridization
2 genomes
Test DNA
Normal DNA
Labeled with 2 different fluorescence(green and red) dyes
Allowed to hybridize
2 samples are equal focal deletion
or
Produce yellow fluorescence duplication
fluorescence skewed
towards green or red.
• Uses
- Has higher sensitivity
- Can be performed using DNA extracted from
fixed as well as tumor sample
- Technique makes it possible to perform a
genome wide scan for structural alteration
even on those cases for which other
cytological analysis is not feasible or
successful .
CHROMOSOMALABNORMALITIES
NUMERICAL STRUCTURAL
Karyotype with abnormal no. of
chromosomes
Include chromosome losses & gains
Alterations in structure
Include loss, rearrangements
or gain of chromosome segments
Numerical abnormalities
• Haploid- gametes 23 or N
• Diploid- 46 or 2N
• Euploid- exact multiple of N eg: 3N (triploid),
4N (tetraploid)
• Aneuploid- indicates noneuploid, loss or gain
of single chromosomes eg: monosomy,
trisomy
• Most common mechanism of aneuploidy-
nondisjunction of chromosomes
• Nondisjunction in
Meiosis I, results in 2
gametes with parental
chromosomes that fail
to separate and 2
nullisomic gametes
• Nondisjunction in
meiosis II,results in 1
gamete with two
identical
chromosomes, 1
nullisomic and 2
normal gametes.
• Monosome: fertilization of nullisomic with
normal gamete
• Trisome: fertilization of gamete retaining both
paternal and maternal or both copies of either
maternal or paternal with normal gamete
• Mosaicism: Nondisjunction when occurs in
mitosis, a condition where individual has two
or more cell lines of different chromosomal
constitution derived from same zygote.
Structural abnormalities
• Translocation
- Reciprocal translocation
- Robertsonian translocation
• Inversion
- Paracentric inversion
- Pericentric inversion
• Deletion
- Terminal deletion
- Inserstitial deletion
• Microdeletions :
- Subtype of chromosome deletion that can be
observed only in banded chromosomes or in some
cases using molecular genetic approaches.
• Duplications:
- Intra chromosomal gain of chromatin
lying in the same linear orientation (direct)
reverse orientation (inverted ) with respect to
centromere.
• Insertion
- Interchromosome insertion
- Intrachromosome insertion
- Direct insertion
- Inverted insertion
• Isochromosomes – either two identical short
arms or two identical long arms.
This occurs as a result of transfers split
instead of longitudinal split during meiosis
and mitosis.
• Ring chromosome- these are formed when a
break occurs on each arm of chromosomes
followed by fusion of the exposed ends to
create a circular structure. The distal
fragments are lost because they lack the
centromere.
• Uniparental disomy:
- A condition in which one parent has
contributed 2 copies of chromosome and
other parent has contributed no copies.
- Ex: Prader-Willi syndrome
Angelman syndrome

Cytogenetic abnormalities

  • 1. Cytogenetic abnormalities Presenter -Dr Dhanya A N Moderator–Dr chaithra
  • 2. Contents • Introduction to cytogenetics • Milestones in cytogenetics • Chromosome • Cell cycle and cell division • Indications for cytogenetic analysis • Approach to cytogenetic analysis • Chromosomal abnormalities chromosomal disorders chromosomal abnormalities in neoplasm - hematological - soft tissue tumors
  • 3. Introduction to cytogenetic CYTOGENETICS DEFINITION : Cytogenetics is the study of chromosomes and its abnormalities: alteration in the number and structure.
  • 4. MILESTONES IN CYTOGENETICS: • Arnold: First observed chromosomes:1879 • Hansemann & Flemming Counted the chromosomes: 1891 • Winiwarter: Isolated X chromosome • Painter: Isolated Y chromosome • Tijio and Levan: 1956: Described correct chromosome number as 22 pair of autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes. • Levan introduced the use of Colchicine to arrest mitosis at metaphase. • Hsu,Makino & Nishimura and Hughes- Hypotonic technique: In 1952 in karyotyping. • Gall and Prudue described in situ hybridization techniques.
  • 5. Chromosome Is a packaged and organized structure containing the DNA of a living organism
  • 7. CELL CYCLE • Interphase – G1, S, G2 • M phase (Mitosis) • G0 – NO cell division
  • 8.
  • 9.
  • 10.
  • 11. INDICATIONS FOR CYTOGENETIC ANALYSIS • Prenatal – pregnancies involving older (>35yrs) women. • Confirmation or exclusion of diagnosis - known chromosomal syndromes. • Unexplained psychomotor retardation with or without dysmorphic features. • Abnormalities of sexual differentiation and development - ambiguous genitalia.
  • 12. Continued.. • Recurrent miscarriage, stillbirth or spontaneous abortions. • Females with proportionate short stature and primary amenorrhea. • Parents and children of persons with chromosomal translocations, deletions and duplications. • Pregnancies at risk of aneuploidy from results of fetal ultrasound. • Neoplastic conditions- soft tissues and hematological.
  • 13. APPROACH TO THE DIAGNOSIS OF CYTOGENETIC DISORDERS 1. Karyotyping 2. Insitu hybridization 3. Fluorescence insitu hybridization 4. Spectral karyotyping 5. Comparative genomic hybridization
  • 14. KARYOTYPE • Standard display of stained and photographed chrosmosomes in metaphase spread, arranged in pairs, in order of decreasing length. • Human somatic cells - 22 pair of autosomes identical in male and female • 2 sex chromosomes XX - female & XY - males.
  • 15. 1. TISSUE SAMPLES & CELL CULTURE: • Prenatal - Amniotic fluid- 20ml - Chorionic villi- 25mg of Vascularised and budding villi from chorion frondosum - PUBS(percutaneous umbilical blood sampling)
  • 16. • Postnatal – Peripheral blood – 4 ml of heparinised – Skin fibroblasts- 4mm diameter – Bone marrow- 1 ml of heparinised bone marrow. – Lymph node- 0.5 to 1 cm3 – Solid tumors- Part of specimen submitted for histopathological examination. Ideally 0.5-1 gm
  • 17. 2. Culture • Culture medium – Preservative free sodium heparin, (RPMI 1640 ), mitotic stimulant (phytohemagglutinin) and antibiotics( penicillin, streptomycin ). • Short term culture: 1-3 days – blood, bonemarrow, chorionic villi • Long term culture: 1-3 wks - other tissue types
  • 18. 3. Arrest of cell division: at metaphase, by Colchicine [Deacetyl methyl colchicine] for 20 min. 4. Cells harvested – centrifugation  Incubated for 10min in hypotonic solution (dilute solution of KCl 0.075 mol) .
  • 19. 5. Cell fixation- 3:1 methanol/ glacial acetic acid mixture (carnoy’s) for 30min. 6. Staining : Trypsinization of the chromosomes prior to staining, weakens the DNA-Protein interactions, add buffer (Na2HPO4 and NaH2PO4), banding techniques done with the dyes. 7. Microscopic analysis and photography 8. Karyotype production (manual/automated) 9. Interpretation
  • 20.
  • 21. Staining Q-banding- • The first banding method developed • Uses quinacrine mustard or quinacrine dihydrochloride, • creates a flourescent transfers band on exposure to UV light, • Q- bands fade over time not routinely used .
  • 22. G-banding • Uses Giemsa dye to produce transverse bands light (G-C rich DNA) dark band (A-T rich DNA) • G-bands are identical to Q- bands • G-banding is the most widely used banding technique for routine chromosome analysis • Around 400 bands per haploid genome seen. Each band corresponds to 5-10megabases
  • 23. R-banding • Treating chromosomes with a hot alkaline solution before Giemsa staining • Produces bands that are the reverse of G-bands, called R- bands. • In R banding telomeres should appear as dark bands and their absence as the result of deletion is more obvious.
  • 24. C-banding • selectively stains constitutive heterochromatin, and are located at all centromeres and distal long arm of Y chromosome. • Staining with giemsa followed by heat denaturation results in darkly staining heterochromatic regions at centromere with light staining chromosome arms.
  • 25. Nuclear organizing region(NOR) banding • Specific chromosomal region that forms and maintain the nucleoli are called NOR. • NOR located on stalk of acrocentric chromosomes and contain gene for 18S and 28S rRNA. • Stained by Geimsa (N- banding) or silver impregnation ( Ag-NOR)
  • 26.
  • 27. Successful cytogenetic analysis depends on – - Cells must be in adequate numbers - Analysis must be performed on viable cells in division - Chromosomes must be separated from one another - Chromosomes must be identified & characterized normal/abnormal - Arranged according to the length in a decreasing order.
  • 28. • Karyotyping Chromosome from each metaphase spread are arranged in prescribed order – karyotype cells – imaged, printed & karyotyped
  • 29.
  • 30. ISCN International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature. • Centromere divide the chromosome into short arm and long am • Chromosome arms divided into regions on the basis of landmarks The region adjacent to centromere of short arm and long arm are given number 1 as p1, q1 respectively, the next distal region is given 2 and so on • The regions are subdivided into bands and the bands are subdivided into sub bands as the resolution increases and the numbering done sequentially
  • 32. In situ hybridization • Hybridization refers to the binding or annealing of complementary DNA or RNA sequences • Main purpose – detection of specific nucleic acid sequences in chromosomes. • In early studies, radio isotopes were used as labels for nucleic acids, and detection of hybridized sequence were done with autoradiography.
  • 33. • As technology advanced, detection by enzymatic and fluorescent means become available for quick and safe analysis. • Uses- Detection of missing,additional chromosomes,chromosome rearrangements and microdeletions.
  • 34. Fluorescent in situ hybridization The probe and metaphase target are denatured by a high temperature and formamide. Probe is hybridized to the chromosomal target. Unbound probe is removed by post hybridization washes. Bound probe is detected by fluorescence microscopy
  • 35.
  • 36. Types of probes 1] Centromere enumerating probe(CEP) - Bind to highly repitative sequence alpha satellite sequences of centromere and produce strong signals. Similar sequences in pericentric region results in cross hybridization artifact.
  • 37. 2] Locus specific identifier(LSI) probe Target distinct chromosomal region of interest and utilize single copy rather than repetitive DNA.
  • 38. 3] Whole chromosomes probes Also known as chromosome painting probes or chromosomes libraries, consists of thousands of overlapping probes that recognize unique and moderately repetitive sequences along the entire length of individual chromosomes
  • 39. Advantages – - Many more cells can be examined at a single time. - Metaphases are not essential, so abnormalities can be detected in non dividing cells. - Can be performed in a shorter period of time. - Abnormalities that cannot be detected by conventional cytogenetic analysis may be detected. Main disadvantage – - Only those abnormalities that are specifically sought will be found whereas conventional analysis permits all chromosomes to be evaluated
  • 40. SPECTRAL KARYOTYPING (multicolor fluorescence in-situ hybridization) • 24-colour, multi-chromosomal painting assay that allows visualization of all human chromosomes in one experiment. • Uses – 1. Ability to detect complex chromosomal rearrangements. 2. Identifies marker chromosomes– makes this highly sensitive and valuable tool for identifying recurrent chromosomal abnormalities.
  • 41. Spectral karyotyping chromosomes of a single cell Pepsin treatment( at 37 degree C for 3-5 min) labeled with a different combination of fluorescent dyes and allowed to hybridize, specific for each chromosome Imaged immediately and Spectral karyotype done using SPK View software
  • 42. SPK
  • 43. Comparative genomic hybridization 2 genomes Test DNA Normal DNA Labeled with 2 different fluorescence(green and red) dyes Allowed to hybridize 2 samples are equal focal deletion or Produce yellow fluorescence duplication fluorescence skewed towards green or red.
  • 44.
  • 45. • Uses - Has higher sensitivity - Can be performed using DNA extracted from fixed as well as tumor sample - Technique makes it possible to perform a genome wide scan for structural alteration even on those cases for which other cytological analysis is not feasible or successful .
  • 46.
  • 47. CHROMOSOMALABNORMALITIES NUMERICAL STRUCTURAL Karyotype with abnormal no. of chromosomes Include chromosome losses & gains Alterations in structure Include loss, rearrangements or gain of chromosome segments
  • 48. Numerical abnormalities • Haploid- gametes 23 or N • Diploid- 46 or 2N • Euploid- exact multiple of N eg: 3N (triploid), 4N (tetraploid) • Aneuploid- indicates noneuploid, loss or gain of single chromosomes eg: monosomy, trisomy • Most common mechanism of aneuploidy- nondisjunction of chromosomes
  • 49. • Nondisjunction in Meiosis I, results in 2 gametes with parental chromosomes that fail to separate and 2 nullisomic gametes
  • 50. • Nondisjunction in meiosis II,results in 1 gamete with two identical chromosomes, 1 nullisomic and 2 normal gametes.
  • 51. • Monosome: fertilization of nullisomic with normal gamete • Trisome: fertilization of gamete retaining both paternal and maternal or both copies of either maternal or paternal with normal gamete • Mosaicism: Nondisjunction when occurs in mitosis, a condition where individual has two or more cell lines of different chromosomal constitution derived from same zygote.
  • 52. Structural abnormalities • Translocation - Reciprocal translocation - Robertsonian translocation
  • 53. • Inversion - Paracentric inversion - Pericentric inversion
  • 54. • Deletion - Terminal deletion - Inserstitial deletion
  • 55. • Microdeletions : - Subtype of chromosome deletion that can be observed only in banded chromosomes or in some cases using molecular genetic approaches.
  • 56. • Duplications: - Intra chromosomal gain of chromatin lying in the same linear orientation (direct) reverse orientation (inverted ) with respect to centromere.
  • 57. • Insertion - Interchromosome insertion - Intrachromosome insertion - Direct insertion - Inverted insertion
  • 58. • Isochromosomes – either two identical short arms or two identical long arms. This occurs as a result of transfers split instead of longitudinal split during meiosis and mitosis.
  • 59. • Ring chromosome- these are formed when a break occurs on each arm of chromosomes followed by fusion of the exposed ends to create a circular structure. The distal fragments are lost because they lack the centromere.
  • 60. • Uniparental disomy: - A condition in which one parent has contributed 2 copies of chromosome and other parent has contributed no copies. - Ex: Prader-Willi syndrome Angelman syndrome
