Satellite associations and the identification of the Y chromosome in man

Abstract

In a sample of cells from a leucocyte culture of an XY/XO mosaic the number of satellite associations between two acrocentric chromosomes (groups 13–15 and 21–22) was determined. Three different types of associations were distinguished. A comparison of the numerical frequencies of the different types in XO and XY cells suggests that the Y chromosome does not take part in the associations and is therefore unsatellited.
