Summary

Centric fission of chromosome no. 7 (cen fiss 7) was found after G-, Q-, and C-banding of blood lymphocyte chromosomes in the healthy female proposita, referred for chromosome analysis because of three previous abortions. The same abnormality was found in a further five family members (three females, two males) and had been transmitted over three generations.
