Human chromosomal heteromorphisms in Delhi newborns. IV. Inter-relationship between C-band size and inversion...

The inter-relationship of C-band size and inversion heteromorphisms was studied in 200 Delhi normal newborns (100 males and 100 females). A significant correlation between size and inversion heteromorphisms in males (r = 0.97) and females (r = 0.98) was observed. The results suggested that the larger the size of the C-band regions so the higher was the incidence of inversion.
