Extract

The present study has been made with the purpose of studying the frequency of chromosome aberrations in a male psychiatric hospital population, especially in order to look for possible associations between minor chromosome aberrations such as variations in short arms or satellites in D or G chromosomes as well as in Y length on the one hand and mental illness and criminality on the other.
