Les bases moléculaires de la translocation chromosomique observée dans des leucémies myéloïdes humaines, ont récemment été décrites par deux équipes américaines dans une série d’articles de Nature Genetics. Deux approches différentes ont été utilisées : un criblage de gènes candidats identifiés par mutagenèse insertionnelle, et un clonage positionnel à l'aide de chromosomes artificiels de levure(YAC). 2, record 1, French, - mutagen%C3%A8se%20insertionnelle

Modification du patrimoine chromosomique survenue pendant la division de la cellule, et source de mutation. Elle peut consister en addition ou soustraction de chromosomes entiers, ou en remaniement de la structure des chromosomes, dont le nombre reste normal : le matériel génétique peut alors être diminué(délétion), augmenté(duplication), modifié dans sa séquence(inversion) ou échangé(translocation). 3, record 2, French, - aberration%20chromosomique

Any discontinuity in chromosome structure occurring across the entire cross-section of the chromosome; chromosome breaks are either of spontaneous occurrence or are produced by the action of mutagens. They are recognizable during nuclear division (mitosis, meiosis) and lead to the formation of centric and acentric fragments. 2, record 3, English, - chromosome%20break

Discontinuities which involve only one of the two chromatids or subunits of the chromatids are referred to as chromatid and subchromatid breaks. 2, record 3, English, - chromosome%20break

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Les aberrations de structure sont la conséquence de cassures chromosomiques. Une cassure unique provoque la perte d’un fragment chromosomique : il y a délétion. Un cassure double sur un même chromosome peut entraîner la formation d’un chromosome en anneau qui résulte d’une cassure à chaque extrémité du chromosome suivie par la soudure des deux surfaces de section; ce chromosome en anneau équivaut à une double délétion. Si la cassure double intéresse deux chromosomes différents, les fragments rompus peuvent se recoller après échange réciproque et reconstituer des structures nouvelles : c'est une translocation. 1, record 3, French, - cassure%20chromosomique
