[Pericentric inversion of chromosome 2 (p11 q13) in unrelated families (author's transl)]

A pericentric inversion of chromosome 2 has been detected in 4 unrelated families. The break points are identical in band 2p11 and band 2q13. Reproductive history of these couples is analyzed. The pathology of these particular regions of chromosome 2 is discussed.

Leukocyte mitosis: suppression in vitro associated with acute infectious hepatitis

Inhibition of mitosis in vitro was observed in leukocytes from patients with acute infectious hepatitis. Similarly, in cultures of normal leukocytes, after the addition of small amounts of serum from patients with hepatitis, mitosis was suppressed. Althoutgh the incidence of mitosis became normal in leukocytes from convalescent patients, there were chromosomal abnormalities.
