Summary
We have studied in cultured blood lymphocytes a familial translocation by banding with Giemsa staining, and have unequivocally identified the translocated chromosomes as Nos. 3 and 8, and besides we have established without doubt that the translocation has occurred between the short arm of chromosome No. 3 and the long arm of chromosome No. 8.
Zusammenfassung
Mit Hilfe von Bandenmustern, die mit Giemsafärbung zu erzielen sind, wurde eine familiäre Translokation in Lymphocytenkulturen untersucht. Die translozierten Chromosomen konnten eindeutig als Nr. 3 und Nr. 8 identifiziert werden; außerdem wurde zweifelsfrei festgestellt, daß die Translokation zwischen dem kurzen Arm von Nr. 3 und dem langen Arm von Nr. 8 erfolgt ist.
