Summary
A case of 13r was reported. By means of banding staining techniques it could be shown that the long arm was broken at region 3 band 4 and the short arm at region 1 band 1. The manifold pattern of behavior of the ring chromosome and their results in mosaic karyotypes were analysed.
Zusammenfassung
Ein Fall von Ringchromosom 13 wurde berichtet. Mit der Hilfe der Bandenfärbung war es gelungen, die Bruchstellen — Region 3 Band 4 des langen Armes und Region 1 Band 1 des kurzen Armes — zu lokalisieren. Die mannigfaltigen Verhaltensmuster des Ringchromosoms und die daraus sich ergebenden Karyotypenmosaike wurden analysiert.
