Remarks
Telomeric probe (TTAGGG)n showed uniform signals on telomeres of all chromosomes. Additional small telomeric probe detected on interstitial telomeric sites on submetacentric pair 17, which matches the location of a heterochromatic block.

Chromosome staining/banding/FISH
Pericentromeric heterochromatic blocks observed on metacentric pairs 2, 4, 6, and 11 and submetacentric pairs 14 and 19. Additionally, a small interstitial band detected on long arm of pair 17.
