The distribution of chromosome breakage points along human chromosomes was studied in lymphocytes irradiated in the G0-period with different doses of X-rays. The breakage points were found to be preferentially located in the so-called R-bands. The individual chromosomes were found to be involved in chromosome interchanges in proportion to their amount of R-band material with few exceptions.
