We studied the quantitative and qualitative variation of associations between acrocentric chromosomes in four subjects on a period of ten months; results show a definite tendency of association in a same subject, tendency which is reproducible and clear. Even though each individual has a determined rate of associations, the number of associated chromosomes and the number of associations themselves do not vary with months. Furthermore, associations do not appear at random; indeed, they have a wide spectrum of variations from one subject to the other but if we take the subjects individually, their associative rate concerning each chromosome do not change with months. Therefore, the phenomenon of association could be viewed as a biological characteristic of each individual.
我们对四名受试者的近端着丝粒染色体之间的关联进行了为期十个月的定量和定性变化研究；结果显示，在同一受试者中存在明确的关联倾向，这种倾向具有可重复性且明显。尽管每个个体都有确定的关联率，但关联染色体的数量以及关联本身的数量并不会随月份变化。此外，关联并非随机出现；实际上，从一个受试者到另一个受试者，它们有广泛的变化范围，但如果单独考虑每个受试者，其关于每条染色体的关联率不会随月份改变。因此，关联现象可被视为每个个体的生物学特征。
