Abstract
Chromosome measurements including relative total length, arm ratio and centromeric index of the human complement were presented. Based on these data the human complement was classified into metacentric, submetacentric, subtelocentric, and acrocentric chromosomes and arranged into a mammalian style karyotype. On the basis of this classification a new karyotype was suggested to facilitate analysis of Denver Group III (X—6—12) and divide it into four subunits. Metacentric chromosomes 10 and 16 were detached from their respective groups in this new karyotype.Keywords
