title: Heterochromatic variability in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
abstract: An analysis of the C-segment variability of chromosomes 1, 9, and 16 was carried out in 38 children with ALL, and 90 control subjects. When studying location variants, no differences were found between group of patients and the normal controls. A larger quantity of structural heterochromatin was, however, observed on chromosomes 1, 9, and 16, and a higher frequency of homologous chromosomes heteromorphism in children with ALL when compared with the control group.
