Abstract
A comparative analysis of the C bands of chromosomes 1, 9, 16 and Y of 27 Caucasian and 27 Japanese males is reported. The mean of the total centromeric heterochromatin of the three pairs (sigma h1, 9, 16) is larger in Caucasian than in Japanese subjects, but Caucasians showed a lower mean of C band size of chromosome Y. Heritability of the C band of the Y chromosome was studied in 26 families.Keywords
