The extent of length polymorphisms of the heterochromatic and euchromatic segment of the human Y chromosome were investigated in 15 boys with acute leukemia and were compared with 15 normal controls. A greater value of the Yh/F index in relation to controls was established ( P < 0.05). The length of the euchromatic segment was also shorter in the patients than the controls ( P < 0.05).
