Abstract

With the development of fluorescent staining techniques and their application to human chromosomes, identification of the entire human karyotype is now possible. Of considerable value are the elimination of the guesswork in the pairing of the C group and sex chromosomes and the recognition and characterization of the translocation chromosomes in mongolism.
