Elimination of nucleolus organizers in a case of 13/14 Robertsonian translocation.
A Robertsonian translocation 45,XY, t(13q;14q) was detected in the leukocyte cultures of a phenotypically normal male. Silver staining technique for nucleolus organizer regions revealed that both acrocentrics involved in the translocation had lost their nucleolus organizers.
