Chromosome study of Presbytis cristatus: presence of a complex Y-autosome rearrangement in the male

B Dutrillaux et al. Ann Genet. 1984.

Abstract

The karyotypes of a female and of a male Presbytis cristatus are analysed. In the latter, there is a complex Y-autosome rearrangement. The phyletic position of this species, in relation to genus Colobus, previously studied, is proposed, considering the sequence of chromosomal rearrangements which occurred during their evolution. These rearrangements, in addition to the t(Y-autosome), are characterized by a high frequency of inversions, and above all, by several non-Robertsonian translocations which occurred very rarely during evolution of other Primates.
