sp. were collected from two different localities in Muş Province, Eastern Anatolia, Türkiye. Cytogenetic analyses of these specimens revealed that the diploid chromosome number, the fundamental chromosome number, and the number of autosomal arms were 2n = 52, NF = 84 and NFa = 80, respectively. The X chromosome was medium-sized and submetacentric, while the Y chromosome was small and acrocentric. Active nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) were observed on the telomeric regions of three bi-armed autosomal pairs in all examined specimens. This study presents new karyological data regarding the blind mole rat with 2n = 52 chromosomes distributed in the Eastern Anatolia region from Türkiye.
