A new Robertsonian translocation, 8/23, in cattle

Summary - A new Robertsonian translocation was found in 7 animals of the Grey Ukrainian breed. The translocated chromosome, analyzed by GTG- and RBG-banding, resulted from the fusion of chromosomes 8 and 23. C-banding suggested that the translocated chromosome has a double heterochromatic block. Synaptonemal complex analysis was performed using electron microscopy. cattle / chromosome / Robertsonian translocation
