Summary

New centric fusions (Rb 8-14 Rma) have been described in a 22-chromosome karyotype from a Mus musculus population in southern Central Italy. The diakinesis of hybrids obtained by crossing mice with different 22-chromosome complements show a ring-multivalent made up 16 metacentrics pairing arm-to-arm.

Notice that the identification of the Robertsonian metacentrics Rma 3 and 5, as it appears in this note, has been proved uncorrect by further observations. The exact identification and definitive nomenclature of the CD Robertsonian metacentrics is reported in reference 6.
