Abstract excerpt
An extreme variant of a human 15p+ marker chromosome is described in a human family. The short arm of this variant is greatly enriched in ribosomal RNA genes, and there are up to three secondary constrictions potentially active for rRNA transcription. These sites are hypomethylated, whereas the rest of rDNA is highly methylated, as shown by the isoschizomer pair HpaII-MspI. This chromosome variant is similar to...
