Summary Morphological studies of metaphase chromosomes were done with rats derived from the BIL/1 strain, which has genes affecting growth and reproduction linked to the major histocompatibility complex by conventional Giemsa‐trypsin staining and the results were compared to rat strains not carrying these defects. A subterminal‐terminal centromeric polymorphism was detected in chromosome 3 [del 3 (pter → cent)] among the strains studied. Comparison of the G‐banded karotypes of the rats carrying the defects with the karotypes of the otsher strains did not reveal any gross chromosomal abnormalities.
