title: Chromosome analysis of bone marrow samples from country patients.
abstract: Co-operation by outside centres has made it possible to offer bone marrow chromosome analysis to patients living up to 1800 kilometres from the central cytogenetics laboratory. Diagnostic karyotypes have been obtained in 9 of 10 bone marrow specimens which were partially processed before being transported to the city laboratory for final analysis.
