Abstract
Three dizygotic, heterosexual twins with chimerisms carrying marker chromosomes are described. Phenotypic and cytogenetic methods were used to identify these animals. The occurrence of germinal cell migration causing gonad chimerism can be detected by the marker chromosome event under conditions described in this report.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
