Lateral asymmetry in human constitutive heterochromatin: frequency and inheritance.

American journal of human genetics ·Vol. 30 ·No. 2 ·1978-03-00 ·Pages 144-52

Abstract

The relative frequencies and types of lateral asymmetry found in chromosomes 1, 9, 15, 16, and the Y were determined. The pattern of asymmetry is simple in chromosomes 15, 16, and the Y but compound in 1 and possibly also 9. The pattern of compound lateral asymmetry is a stable heteromorphism inherited in a simple Mendelian way and is an efficient morphological discriminator between the members of the no. 1 chromosome pair.
