Differences in the distribution and nature of the interstitial telomeric (TTAGGG)n sequences in the chromosomes of the Giraffidae, okapi (Okapia johnstoni), and giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis): evidence for ancestral telomeres at the okapi polymorphic rob(4;26) fusion site
TL;DR: Intrachromosomal telomeric sequences (TTAGGG)n were analyzed in the two members of the family Giraffidae, the giraffe and the okapi to provide insights into the origin of interstitial telomersic sequences in the Giraffe.

The IL-9 Receptor Gene, Located in the Xq/Yq Pseudoautosomal Region, Has an Autosomal Origin, Escapes X Inactivation and Is Expressed from the Y

TL;DR: The evolutionary analysis of the IL9R gene, which is located at 10 kb from the telomere, and its pseudogenes at several telomeres, provides insight into the evolution of these loci and of subtelomeric regions in general.
Cytogenetic survey in couples with recurrent fetal wastage.
TL;DR: In contrast to couples with reciprocal translocations, a high excess of female over male carriers was found in the group of Robertsonian translocations and their low frequency in the present study is therefore not comparable with that in a general population.

Interstitial telomeric sequences at the junction site of a jumping translocation.
TL;DR: The finding of interstitial telomersic sequences in a JT with a chromosome different from chromosome arm 15q in a patient without Prader-Willi syndrome implies that telomere sequences may be common to all telomeric JTs, and the possible role of telomerics as a cause of the observed chromosomal mosaicism is discussed.

Fertility in patients with X chromosome deletions.
TL;DR: The possibility of having genotypically and phenotypically normal offspring should be taken into account in the management and genetic counseling of children and females with X‐chromosome deletions.
