Cytogenetic nomenclature.
The advantage of a standardized nomenclature is apparent in any discipline. A standardized method for designating carbon molecules in steroid chemistry facilitates communication in endocrinology; consistent staging methods permit comparison of data in oncology. Likewise, a standardized method for designating cytogenetic data facilitates communications in genetics. Therefore, investigators should adhere to the official recommendations summarized in this report.
