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 in ...

Abnormalities in the structure of chromosomes within someone’s genetic makeup are called structural chromosomal abnormalities. Robertsonian translocations are very rare structural chromosomal ...

Translocation is a genetic abnormality in which part of a chromosome moves to another chromosome. Chromosomes are genetic structures within cells that hold genes. When translocation occurs, it causes ...

This image shows Robertsonian fusion chromosomes and their normal, non-fused counterparts from three different human cell lines. Chromosomes are labeled by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) ...

Translocations are chromosomal “cut and paste” errors that drive many lymphomas, a type of blood cancer and the sixth most common form of cancer overall. This includes mantle cell lymphoma, a rare but ...
