  1. For each metaphase chromosome spread, fluorescence intensities of FISH signals were normalized to the summarized fluorescence intensity of all signals (taken as 100%) on the spread. For each TS (1p – Yq) or ITS (2int – Xint), the mean (+/−3 SE) relative intensity of the signal for 22 chromosome spreads is presented.
