Abstract
Centromeric variants of chromosome 8 appear to be rare. In 7- and 8-year-olds (Lubs et al., Population Cytogenetic Studies in Humans, pp. 133–159, 1977), only one case had a large chromosome 8 centromere (Fig. 13.1a). An earlier study (McKenzie and Lubs, Cytogenet Cell Genet 14:97–115, 1975) also reported one case with a C-band-positive 8cen+.
