Summary
Presumptive isochromosome short arms-satellites D or G was found in a father and his daughter, both of whom had personality deviation. The father was detected in a prevalence and incidence study of 1208 males in a Danish psychiatric hospital.
It is concluded that there is most probably no causal relationship between the presumptive isochromosome short arms-satellites of a D or a G chromosome and the personality deviation in the proband and his daughter in the present study.
Zusammenfassung
Bei einem Vater und seiner Tochter fand sich ein Extra-Chromosom, das wahrscheinlich ein Isochromosom von kurzen Armen bzw. Satelliten von D- oder G-Chromosomen darstellt. Beide hatten eine Anomalie der Persönlichkeit. Der Vater wurde in einer Prävalenz- und Incidenzstudie an 1208 Männern eines dänischen Psychiatrischen Hospitals erfaßt.
Die Autoren ziehen den Schluß, daß sehr wahrscheinlich keine kausale Beziehung zwischen dem vermuteten Isochromosom und der Persönlichkeitsabweichung bei dem Probanden und seiner Tochter besteht.
