The cell line is aneuploid human female (XO usually), with most chromosome counts in the hypertetraploid range. Several chromosomes (N11, N13, and N22) are absent, and others are clearly under-represented (N9, N14, and N15) with respect to the other normal chromosomes. Chromosome N7 tends towards over-representation in several karyotypes. Some of the missing normal chromosomes are represented by their involvement in the nine stable marker chromosomes: der(14)t(14;?)(q32,?), unknown, iso(13q), der(6)t(6;7)(q21;q21), der(11)t(11;?)(14;?), del(11)(p11), unknown, unknown, der(2)t(2;?)(p21;?).
