title: Absence of heteromorphism of chromosome #2 homologues in patients with hereditary adenomatosis of the colon and rectum.
abstract: Measurement analysis of lymphocyte prometaphase chromosomes from three patients with hereditary adenomatosis of the colon and rectum could not confirm the heteromorphism of chromosome #2 homologues, which was suggested by Gardner et al. Instead, the analysis showed to what extent individual homologous pairs are "heteromorphic" quantitatively.
