Human Ring Chromosome Syndromes: An “E” Ring Associated with an Abnormal Phenotype*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2014
Summary
In peripheral blood cultures of a phenotypically abnormal Caucasian girl, a ring-shaped chromosome was observed in place of an E group member. The rest of the chromosomes of the complement did not show any obvious structural anomaly. The ring chromosome was noted in 100% of the recorded cells, and its size in individual metaphases remained fairly constant. It is suggested that this ring chromosome has become a permanent part of the complement of the patient.
