Abstract

The autosome in Searle's X-autosome translocation has been shown to be chromosome 16. The breakpoint in chromosome 16 is slightly proximal to the middle and in the X is slightly distal to the middle.—Available evidence indicates that either Linkage Group XV or Linkage Group XIX is carried on chromosome 16.—The centromere of the X chromosome is at the spf end of the linkage group.
