Abstract

Qualitative analysis of C-band heteromorphisms was carried out In 200 infants (100 males and 100 females) In Delhi, India. Partial inversions minor and half Inversions were observed as modal levels for chromosomes 1 and 9 in both sexes. No chromosome 16 with a C-band inversion was observed in the present investigation. A significantly higher incidence of percent inversions for chromosomes 1 and 9 was observed In males than in females. The frequency of heterozygous inversion level combinations for chromosome pairs 1 and 9 were remarkably higher than homozygous combinations both in males and females. Our results are compared with the other reported studies, and the possible role of these heteromorphisms in ethnic/racial variation and in developmental disturbances are discussed.
