Clinical findings in patients with marker chromosomes identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization

Hum Genet. 1993 Jul;91(6):589-98. doi: 10.1007/BF00205086.

Abstract

Twenty-seven patients carrying marker chromosomes were previously collected, characterized by cytogenetic techniques, and identified by stepwise fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with alpha-satellite DNA probes. Clinical features of 22 patients are described here and compared to other patients with marker chromosomes similarly identified and reported in the literature.
