β¦ Synopsis
A No. 15 chromosome with a short arm longer than usual is observed in two phenotypically normal brothers. This chromosome appears to have no visible satellite, shows no N-band staining, and is never involved in satellite association. These results have led us to the conclusion that this chromosome lacks the nucleolus organizer region.

Three cases of morphologic variants of human D-or G-group chromosomes have been studied by N-and Ag-AS banding techniques. The results confirm our previous findings about the localization of nucleolus organizers on the secondary constrictions of acrocentric chromosomes. Preliminary results on the di
