Abstract: | Summary Sixteen patients with unusual heteromorphisms involving alterations of the length and/or position of centromeric heterochromatin are described. Family studies showed that the heteromorphisms were present in other relatives and segregated in the expected 1:1 ratio. There was a significantly greater frequency of unusual heteromorphisms among Orientals than in other races studied. |
