Abstract
In a mentally retarded female an interstitial deletion of a chromosome 9 and an additional ring chromosome was shown, which by positive hybridisation with a no 9 library was considered to be the excised segment. The functional centromere and C and DA/DAPI positive material as well on the ring chromosome are explained by a break within the centromere close to the constitutive heterochromatin and supports the hypothesis of "latent" centromere(s).Entities:
