| pubmed-article:4043984 | pubmed:abstractText | Quantitative analysis of C-band size heteromorphisms in chromosomes 1,9 and 16 was carried out in 200 Delhi newborns (100 males and 100 females). The percent size heteromorphisms for chromosomes 1,9 and 16 showed nonsignificant differences between the sexes. Homozygous size level combinations showed higher incidence than the heterozygous combinations for all the three chromosome pairs studied in both sexes. Our results are compared with other reported studies and the possible role of these heteromorphisms in ethnic/racial variation and in developmental disturbances is discussed. | lld:pubmed |
