G banding is a technique used in cytogenetics to produce a visible karyotype by staining condensed chromosome s. It is useful for identifying various genetic diseases through the photographic representation of the entire chromosome complement. ref name Speicher Speicher, Michael R. and Nigel P. Carter. The New Cytogenetics Blurring the Boundaries with Molecular Biology. Nature Reviews Genetics, Vol 6.

Dark bands that take up the stain are strongly A,T rich gene poor . The reverse of G bands is obtained in R banding. Banding can be used to identify chromosomal abnormalities, such as Chromosomal translocation translocation s, because there is a unique pattern of light and dark bands for each chromosome. ref name Speicher It is difficult to identify and group chromosomes based on simple staining because the uniform color of the structures makes it difficult to differentiate between the different chromosomes. Therefore, techniques like G banding were developed that made bands appear on the chromosomes. These bands were the same in appearance on the homologous chromosomes, thus, identification became easier and more accurate. The acid saline giemsa protocol reveals G bands.

  1. Blastoma

    A blastoma is a type of cancer that is caused by malignancies in precursor cell s, often called blasts. Examples are nephroblastoma , medulloblastoma and retinoblastoma The suffix blastoma is used to imply a tumor of primitive, incompletely differentiated or precursor cells, i.e., chondroblastoma is composed of cells resembling the precursor of chondrocytes. Blastomas usually occur in children. Molecular biology and treatment Many types of blastoma have been linked to a mutation in tumor suppressor genes. For example pleuropulmonary blastoma s have been linked to a mutation of the coding for p53 . However, the mutation which allows proliferation of incompletely differentiated cells can vary from patient to patient and a mutation can alter the prognosis. In the case of retinoblastoma, patients carry a visibly abnormal karyotype , with a loss of function mutation on a specific band of chromosome 13. This recessive deletion on the rb gene is also associated with other cancer types and must be present on both alleles for a normal cell to progress towards malignancy . ref B. Alberts et al. Molecular Biology of the Cell 5th ed. . New York, Garland Science 2008 http www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov books NBK21054 NCBI Bookshelf ref Thus, in the case of common blastomas, such as retinoblastoma s, a practitioner may go directly into treatment, but in the case of rarer, more genetically linked blastomas, practitioners may karyotype the patient before proceeding with treatment.

Within a few weeks of fertilization , the embryo develops rudimentary sex organs , which are crucial to the development of the reproductive system . In the human male, if these fail to develop within eight weeks, the baby will have female genitalia see Swyer syndrome . If the testes are lost between eight and 10 weeks, the baby will have ambiguous genitalia when it is born. However, if the testes are lost after 14 weeks, the baby will have a normal male reproductive system , other than the absence of testes. citation needed date February 2012 Individuals with this condition have a 46,XY karyotype. Signs include an empty scrotum and lack of secondary sex characteristics . Medical test Tests include testosterone levels low follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone levels elevated X,Y karyotype ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging showing absent gonadal tissue bone density low anti Mullerian hormone levels low surgical exploration for evidence of male gonadal tissue. Treatment Treatment includes androgen male hormone supplementation, testicular prosthetic implantation, and psychological support.
