Duplication And Deletion 11q23-Q24 Recombinants In Two Offspring Of An Intrachromosomal Insertion ("Shift") Carrier, Miriam G. Forsythe, Hugh Walker, Lester Weiss, Jacquelyn R. Roberson, Maria J. Worsham, V. Ramesh Babu, Daniel L. Van Dyke

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Few examples of intrachromosomal insertions have been described. These usually result from deletion of a segment of chromosome material, with insertion of the deleted material elsewhere on the same chromosome. Previous insertional translocations have been identified through a proband who has either a deletion or a duplication of the inserted segment. We describe a family which has two probands, one with a duplication and one with a deletion of the inserted segment. The unbalanced chromosomes probably resulted from an uneven number of crossovers between the breakpoints in the chromosome 11 of the father, who carries a balanced intrachromosomal insertion of …

Vitamin D And Parotid Gland Function In The Rat, C. Peterfy, A. Tenenhouse, E. Yu Mar 1988

Vitamin D And Parotid Gland Function In The Rat, C. Peterfy, A. Tenenhouse, E. Yu

Edward Yu

1. We previously reported that parotid gland secretion is decreased in rats deprived of vitamin D (Glijer, Peterfy & Tenenhouse, 1985). In the present study we examine whether this effect is a direct result of the absence of vitamin D or due to the secondary systemic effects of vitamin D deficiency. 2. Offspring of rats maintained on a calcium-supplemented (1.2%), vitamin-D-deficient diet were weaned onto the same diet and examined after 8 weeks. Using this method it was possible to maintain serum calcium and parathyroid hormone concentrations within normal limits. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D3) was not detectable, but 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D …
