Abstract
The GTG [G-bands by trypsin using Giemsa stain] banding technique is not sufficient for the precise localization of breakpoints in translocations. Multiple banding techniques are required in cases with complex rearrangements [of human chromosomes] before describing a so called new syndrome. Each banding technique has certain advantages, but GTG technique is the poorest choice.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
