The claim that Hsu first discovered the correct number of human chromosomes seems to be incorrect, and is contradicted by the Wikipedia articles about those credited with that discovery: Tjio & Levan. JRicker,PhD (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 00:36, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have corrected the discussion by describing Hsu's discovery of the hypotonic solution and its importance in the discovery of the correct number of human chromosomes. I've also added several references. JRicker,PhD (talk) 20:17, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Wikipedians,

This article states that Hsu reported 48 human chromosomes and referenced table 14 in his 1953 paper. However, I've obtained a full text of Hsu's 1953 paper referenced in this article and there is no table 14, at least not in my copy.

ETA: I also obtained a full text of his 1952 paper, which shows 24 pairs (48 chromosomes). I corrected the article from "his 1953 paper" to "his 1952 paper."

Thanks, M Schaab
