A new Robertsonian translocation, rob(2;28), was discovered in a local population of the Vietnamese Cattle. The animal (2n = 59, XY) was found by Q- and R-banding to be a heterozygous carrier of a centric fusion translocation involving chromosomes 2 and 28. FISH analysis using a bovine satellite I DNA probe demonstrated that the centromeric heterochromatin block of the rob(2;28) chromosome become much smaller than its ancestors suggesting a monocentric nature of this centric fusion. This is the first report identifying a Robertsonian translocation in Southeast Asian cattle by karyotyping of banded chromosomes.
