Translocations generate novel chromosomes, but are often linked to disorders like infertility and cancer. How do these new chromosomes generate problems, and how are they detected? Translocations ...

Translocations, in genetics, happen when chromosomes break and the pieces attach to other chromosomes. This mixing of genetic material has important results. The resultant chromosomes are lacking ...

The transfer between the long arms of chromosomes 9 and 22 is called a reciprocal translocation. In Figure 1, the arrows indicate the translocation breakpoints for each of the involved chromosomes.

Research conducted at the Department of Biology, University of Padova, has identified critical genomic milestones in the ...

All array platforms will detect copy number variations including deletions, duplications, unbalanced translocations, some marker chromosomes and aneuploidy. SNP arrays have the added advantage of ...

Sometimes though, Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is caused when one of the parents has something called a “balanced translocation.” That means two or more of their chromosomes broke and switched ...
