Abstract excerpt
Supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMCs) lacking alpha-satellite sequences and possessing a newly derived functional centromere are referred to as neocentromere marker chromosomes (NMCs). Although the delineation of the chromosome content of these NMCs would be helpful for genetic counseling, such fine mapping has been difficult because of the limited sizes of the involved segments. We report on a female patient...
