Properties
Karyotype | The stemline chromosome number is near diploid with the modal number at 45 (62%) and polyploids occurring at 6.8%. The markers 10q+ and t(?8p;18q) are present in all metaphases and t(9q;?16p-), in 80% of the cells karyotyped. N16 is monosomic in the presence of, but disomic in the absence of t(9q;?16p-). N10 and N18 are monosomic and other chromosomes from those mentioned above are disomic. Q-band observations revealed the presence of the Y chromosome, but not in all cells (50% of cells lacked the Y in G-band karyotypes). |
