Region 2 has a prominent negative band (21), followed by four positive bands (22, 24, 26 and 28). These are separated by three negative bands (23, 25 and 27). Region 3 has a prominent negative band (31), followed by a broad positive band (32, sometimes may contain two or more sub-bands) in the distal half of the q arm; two positive bands almost equally distributed (34 and 36); two narrow negative bands (33 and 35); a negative telomere (37). 15 R-bands; Region 1 contains a large subcentromeric positive band (11) followed by a negative band (12). Region 2 begins with a moderately sized positive band (21), followed by a narrow negative band (22), two narrow positive bands (23 and 25) separated by a wider negative band (24), and the region ends with a wide negative band (26). Region 3 has four positive bands of about equal size (31, 33, 35, and 37) each separated by narrow negative bands (32, 34 and 36). Band 37 is the telomeric region.

Region 2 begins with a wide positive band (21) then four narrower positive bands (23, 25, 27 and 29), each separated by a negative band (22, 24, 26, and 28), all of similar size. Band 210 is a narrow negative band. Region 3 begins after this with a wider positive band (31), followed by two positive bands (33 and 35) of similar width. The three positive bands are separated by two narrow negative bands (32 and 34). Band 35 contains the telomeric region.

Chromosome 4

4-1. P arm

One region. 3 G-bands; a subcentromeric negative band (11) followed by a large positive band (12) and a negative telomere (13). 4 R-bands; a subcentromeric narrow negative band (11) not always visible, followed by a positive band (12), a negative band (13) and positive telomere (14).
