Abstract

Sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) were studied in peripheral human leukocytes from 16 patients with balanced translocations or with unbalanced karyotypes, and from 4 controls. No difference was seen between these two groups of people in the mean number of SCEs per cell, or in the total number of SCEs observed for each pair of autosomes involved in the translocations studied. With this last number no difference from the expected number of SCEs, if one supposes that SCEs follow a random distribution, was seen.
