"All who work with chromosomes will be very much in Dr. Borgaonkar's debt." —Biology and Society.

Chromosomal Variation in Man: A Catalog of Chromosomal Variants and Anomalies, Eighth Edition provides an unparalleled means of reviewing the world literature on all common and rare chromosomal alterations and abnormalities. Organized for easy access, coverage is divided into the three main subject areas: variations and anomalies, numerical anomalies, and chromosomal breakage syndromes. The Catalog documents information on the availability of mutant cell lines and presents chromosome alterations with a list that cross-references band numbers.

This updated and expanded edition contains nearly 19,000 entries—3,000 more than the previous edition—including new or expanded coverage of structural anomalies, new banding techniques, spectral karyotyping of chromosomes, FISH, UPD, and PRINS.
