[Heterochromatic regions of human chromosomes 1, 9, 16 and Y and the phenotype].
The relationship between variability of the heterochromatic regions of chromosomes 1, 9, 16, Y and the anthropometric characteristics (the height, the biacromial diameter and weight) was studied in two groups of children; 70 children had embryopathies of unknown etiology and 40 children had the Down syndrome. The positive statistically significant correlation of the C-segments lengths of chromosomes 1, 9, 16, their sum included, and above characteristics was found. The correlation coefficients of Y-chromosome were non-significant. The problems of functional role of the structural heterochromatin and its influence on viability and physical development of the organism are discussed.
