It has been suggested that fragile sites on human chromosomes predispose to specific rearrangements seen in cancer. Renal cell carcinoma is characterised by recurrent aberrations of chromosome 3p and frequent rearrangements of chromosome 5q. To investigate whether there might be an association betwe
The fragile site at Xq27 which is associated with X-linked retardation with macroorchidism has been studied in 21 retarded males. These males were from 12 families, and studies of nine of the familes were possible. Detection of carrier females is difficult, especially with increasing age. The fragil
