Summary
The possible derivation of a small supernumerary marker chromosome was investigated by means of different staining techniques and the frequency of satellite associations. It could be demonstrated that the marker chromosome participates at satellite association more than randomly. The marker chromosome is supposed to derive from 2 of chromosomes 13, 14, 21, or 22.
