The segregation of human chromosome polymorphisms

Abstract

The inheritance of C-band and Q-band polymorphisms have been investigated in 32 families. C-band inversion and size polymorphisms appear to segregate in a Mendelian manner, with the possible exception of the very large variant of chromosome number 9 which may be selectively inherited. There is some evidence to suggest a preferential segregation of Brilliant Q-band polymorphisms but it may be that this is an artifact caused by insufficient data and scoring error.
