THE SOMATIC CHROMOSOMES IN MONGOLISM
Abstract
Stimulated by the finding that patients with one form of human intersex (Klinefelter's syndrome) have cells containing 47 chromosomes (instead of the usual 46 characteristic of the normal), the finding of an abnormal number of chromosomes in one case of leukemia, and the reported association between mongolism and leukemia, the authors undertook to investigate the chromosomes in cases of mongolism by means of techniques developed in their laboratory. Somatic chromosomes were examined in six typical examples of mongolism, and in all six, the diploid number of chromosomes were found to be 47 rather than the 46 characteristic of normal persons. The findings suggest to the authors that the condition of mongolism is associated with the presence of an extra chromosome. This is of particular interest in considering the predisposition to leukemia considered to be characteristic of mongolism. This paper is one of several which have appeared on this topic in the recent literature and energetic application of this technique to many aberrations in human development can be anticipated. The objective of those seeking to explain the pathogenesis of mongolism will now shift from an analysis of the overall features to determining the reason for the abnormal number of chromosomes. The qualitative significance of differences from the normal pattern of chromosomes in the cell is certain to prove revealing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
