Centromere separation sequence in human chorionic cells.
The sequence of centromere separation in human chorionic cells was analyzed in two laboratories. Despite of certain interexaminer variations, in both series chromosomes 18, 2, 12, 4, 5, 17 and X proved to be early dividing and the acrocentrics were the last to separate. The pattern was very similar to those observed in other human tissues, which reflects a species-specific sequence of centromere separation.
