โฆ Synopsis
The individual association frequencies of acrocentric chromosomes identified by fluorescent markers were analyzed in 17 individuals from 3 families. The frequency of association appears to be a characteristic property of an individual chromosome, since certain marker chromosomes showed an increase in frequency of association in each family member in which they appeared. Most of the marker chromosomes with increased frequency of association had a longer nucleolar constriction than their homologs.

We report on the prenatal diagnosis of two sib female fetuses with a satellited short arm of chromosome 4 and a male fetus with a satellited long arm of chromosome X. The first two fetuses had a cryptic balanced translocation (4;15)(p16;p11.1) inherited from a mother carrying a satellited 4p and hav
Chromosomally normal and trisomy-21 individuals were studied for the ability of their nucleolus-organising chromosomes to form satellite associations in G-banded lymphocyte metaphases. Two types of parameter, absolute association frequency and relative association frequency, were used. There was no
