This paper presents a case study of the chromosomal complement of 16 mice Mus , musculus domesticus Linnaeus, r 1758 from the region near one of the most recent disastrous earthquakes in Italy (named Umbria-Marche 1997), with the aim of examining chromosomal variability among the mice from the seismically active zones. For the present investigation, the sampling sites were chosen in the vicinity of some active faults, supposedly the main earthquake generators in the area. In the three localities, that lie approximately on the fault lines, mice with a reduced chromosomal number (2n = 36 to 39) were trapped. This reduction is due to the presence of three different Robertsonian metacentrics - Rb(9.14), Rb(10.12) and Rb(15.17) - in both the homozygous and heterozygous states. Mice trapped in four localities more distant from the fault zone only had the standard karyotype (2n = 40). These results increase the need to analyze in more detail the distribution of karyotypes in relation with active faults.
