Molecular characterization of 21p- variant chromosome.

Abstract excerpt

Fortuitously, within a 1-month period, we were referred two individuals for routine cytogenetic amniocenteses involving one chromosome 21 from each patient, which had apparently lost the entire short arm and a major portion of the centromeric alphoid sequences in their amniocytes. Breakage may have occurred within alphoid sequences resulting in extreme variants. Variations of a similar nature were originally...
