Rb, Robertsonian chromosome.

a

MM indicates inheritance of the Rb chromosome from the mother and grandmother; MP, from the mother and her father; PM, from the father and his mother; and PP, from the father and his father. No Rb chromosome indicates inheritance only of acrocentric chromosomes.

b

MGM, maternal grandmother; MGF, maternal grandfather.

c

PGF, paternal grandfather; PGM, paternal grandmother.

d

C57BL/6JEi-Rb(7.18)9Lub; W, Rb(2.8)2Lub(7.18)9Lub.
