Summary
The frequency and distribution among chromosomes of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) was examined in a population of 20 normal children (10 girls and 10 boys) and a comparison made among the subjects. The frequency of exchanges generally increased with chromosome length. However, chromosomes 1 and 2 and the C-X group in the girls and the C-X group in the boys showed more exchanges than expected, while the D, E, F and G or G-Y groups showed fewer than expected in both boys and girls.
