Analysis of metaphases for satellite associations from women taking oral contraceptives and control women showed a significantly higher incidence of these associations in the former subjects. There was also a significantly higher frequency of D-D associations in those women taking the “pill” compared to their controls. These abnormalities were not transmitted to the progeny.
