Analysis of a familial 15p + polymorphism: exclusion of Y/15 translocation. 1984

W Werner, and F H Herrmann

A large 15p + chromosome with a whole heterochromatic short arm has been studied by means of different banding techniques in six of nine individuals of a family; a possible Y/15 translocation has been excluded. Furthermore a heteromorphic pair 9 has been observed in seven family members, representing a "possible" small partial inversion 9q12;p11 or a centromeric variation. The transmission of these variant chromosomes as well as of some h + acrocentric chromosomes over three generations could be demonstrated. By means of AgI-staining large intercellular variation of Ag-NORs of the variant acrocentrics has been observed in the family members studied. The unusual accumulation of these variant chromosomes had no phenotypic effects.

Applications include the determination of chromosome rearrangements in malformation syndromes and cancer, the chemistry of chromosome segments, chromosome changes during evolution, and, in conjunction with cell hybridization studies, chromosome mapping.
