Properties
Karyotype | The stemline modal chromosome number is 96, occurring at 16% with polyploidy at 3.2%. Ten common markers were detected i.e., t(1q;?), 10q-, t(11q17q) and 7 others. The t(1q17q) and M11 were found in a portion of cells. The ins(2), 10q-, and t(15q;?) were generally paired, and t(11q;17q) and t(21q;?) were mostly three-copied. Normal N9 was absent, and N21 was lost in some cells. One to 4 small acrocentric chromosomes were detected. No Y chromosome with bright distal q-band was detected by Q-observation. |
