Non-Identity of Apparently Similar Chromosome Aberrations in Human Lymphoblastoid Cell Lines

Abstract

A FEW chromosome aberrations seem to recur with significant frequency among the many aneuploid human lymphoblastoid lines established from various sources. (For discussion and references see ref. 1.) These include trisomy C, a marker chromosome (“mB”) larger than the chromosomes of group 4/5 but with a similar arm ratio and an acrocentric marker (“mD”) similar to an enlarged D group chromosome.
