Ra. Pfeiffer et T. Schulze, MOSAICISM IN 3 CASES OF 47,XY (OR XX), +I(18)(P10) DETECTED BY INTERPHASE FISH OF BUCCAL MUCOSA, Annales de genetique, 37(4), 1994, pp. 210-214
Three cases of i(18)(p10) were studied. By FISH of an alphoid probe (D
18Z1) in nuclei of buccal epithelium, mosaicism was suggested in two a
nd confirmed in one, The question is raised whether a normal cell line
is a prerequisite for survival. A protocol is presented for interphas
e FISH of mucosal smears.
