[Remarks on a satellited Y chromosome (author's transl)]. 1979

P Genest

A previous report in 1967 on the observation of a satellited Y chromosome found in a french canadian family line is confirmed by the use of the ammoniacal silver procedure which stains selectively the nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) in acrocentric human chromosomes. There is evidence that this peculiar chromosome results from the translocation to the distal end of the Y chromosome long arms of a satellited segment from a D or G autosome.
