Abstract
IN chromosome preparations from peripheral lymphocytes a certain number of aneuploid metaphases are usually found (about 10–20 per cent hypodiploid and 1–2 per cent hyperdiploid chromosome sets). These aberrations are usually the result of technical artefacts. In cases where a true numerical chromosomal aberration can be expected these unavoidable artefacts can cause erroneous results.
