- Abstract
Three hundred and twenty-two (264 males and 58 females), randomly sampled Grey Alpine cattle individuals from Northeastern Italy, were investigated cytogenetically by both conventional chromosome staining and R-banding. Two hundred and eighty-one (87%) individuals had a normal karyotype and 41 (13%) carried chromosomal aberrations such as (a) rob(1;29) in two individuals, (b) rob(26;29) in 36 individuals, (c) XX/XY-chimerism in two individuals, and (d) an abnormally long chromosome in one individual. All these aberrations except (d) have been described before. GBG-, RBG-, CBA-banding and sequential GBG/CBA- and RBG/CBA-banding techniques revealed that the abnormally long chromosome was the result of a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 1 (q21→qter) and 5 (q11→q33), as confirmed also by chromosome painting with human chromosome 3 and 12 probes. The dam of the carrier bull carried the same translocation, while the grandam showed a normal karyotype. Since the sire of the dam was not available for study, no conclusion about the origin of the chromosome translocation could be drawn. The carrier bull was eliminated because of poor fertility. The dam had three other calves, which all were chromosomally normal. On average the dam had to be served 2.5 times (breed average was 1.2) to be in calf. Copyright © 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel
