Backgrounds of Human Cytogenetics: a Bibliography

Practical Human Cytogenetics

ALTHOUGH attempts at establishing the human chromosome number dates from early in this century, it was not until 1957 when improvements in techniques became available that human cytogenetics became established as a laboratory discipline. Since 1959, many clinical disorders ranging from abnormalities of sexual, physical and intellectual development, pregnancy wastage, leukaemia and tumours, have...

Some clinical aspects of human cytogenetics.

EXPECTATIONS of discoveries, relating chromosome aberrations in tumour cells to the type of growth, benign or malignant, have not often been justified. Cultures from most tumours have normal karyotypes and in leukemias, for example, the abnormalities found, except for the famous Philadelphia deletion in the chronic myeloid type, are not consistent or characteristic. Moreover, a mongol with leuk...

Human Cytogenetics: from Classical to Molecular Karyotyping

The establishment of human diploid chromosome number (Tjio and Levan, 1956), have led to the foundations of human cytogenetics. Since then, due to the rapid developments of new techniques for chromosome analysis, many other chromosome disorders were recognized. The introduction of banding techniques, yielding a highly reproducible banding pattern, allowed the reliable identification of every si...
