C-band polymorphism in human chromosome no. 6. 1979

K Madan, and A H Bruinsma

Chromosome analysis of G-banded cells from 92 individuals consecutively referred to the Cytogenetics Laboratory show that the paracentromeric band in the short arm (6p11), which stains negatively with G-banding and darkly with C-banding, shows a marked increase in size in about 9% of chromosome no. 6. The results of this study and those from a family in which two variants of chromosome no. 6 are segregating are compatible with a Mendelian pattern of inheritance.

D011110	Polymorphism, Genetic	The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D002871	Chromosome Banding	Staining of bands, or chromosome segments, allowing the precise identification of individual chromosomes or parts of chromosomes. 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.
