title: Cytogenetic study on 282 patients with suspected chromosomal aberration.
abstract: This report shows the results of a karyotype analysis carried out on 282 patients clinically selected for some suspicion of chromosome abnormalities. This population showed a significantly higher incidence of chromosome anomalies (21.6%) than an unselected population (0.5-0.6%). The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of chromosome abnormalities in a selected Sardinian population and to compare these data with those of other authors.
