Abstract
A study was carried out on C-banded chromosomes 1, 9, 16, Y from an unselected population and from 30 normal families. We found: a) great variability in length and position of the C-bands; b) somatic mosaicism involving C-bands; c) variants in children that were not present in parental patterns. The possible role of crossing-over in generating the last two phenomena is discussed.Keywords
