Chromosome analysis of an infant with characteristic features of trisomy 18 is presented. The chromosome complement contained a modal count of 47 but there was only one No. 18. In addition, there were two metacentric chromosomes of different sizes. The two metacentric chromosomes were identified by G- and C-banding to be possible isochromosomes of the long and short arms of a No. 18 chromosome.
本文报道了一名具有18三体特征性表现的婴儿的染色体分析结果。染色体核型计数显示为47条,但只有一条18号染色体。此外,还有两条大小不同的中着丝粒染色体。通过G显带和C显带鉴定,这两条中着丝粒染色体可能是18号染色体长短臂的等臂染色体。
