In a human genetic study, a family with five phenotypically normal children
was investigated. Two children were "homozygous" for a Robertsonian

genetic complement. Three of the children were "heterozygous" for the
translocation and contained 45 chromosomes, with one translocated chromosome
plus a normal copy of both chromosomes 19 and
