title: Advantages of silver staining in seven rearrangements of acrocentric chromosomes, excluding Robertsonian translocations.
abstract: The silver-staining technique was used to study even cases of structural anomalies involving acrocentric chromosomes, excluding Robertsonian translocations. This technique allows identification of breakpoints and furnishes some information about interphase cell dynamics not seen on conventional chromosome preparations.
