Human Chromosome 18 and Acrocentrics: A Dangerous Liaison

Human Chromosome 18 and Acrocentrics: A Dangerous Liaison

The presence of thousands of repetitive sequences makes the centromere a fragile region subject to breakage. In this study we collected 31 cases of rearrangements of chromosome 18, of which 16 involved an acrocentric chromosome, during genetic screening done in three centers. We noticed a significan...
