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 ...

Inside of each of your cells are thread-like structures made up of parts called chromosomes. These tightly wound threads are what people mean when they refer to your DNA. It’s a blueprint for cell ...

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 ...

Study shows that where broken chromosome pieces sit within the nucleus impacts where they reconnect; reveals new guiding principles for cancer genomics In cancer cells, the process of chromosome ...

Shaw 5 has suggested that chromosomal aberrations involving only a portion of No. 21 may result in "partial-mongol" persons. Such cases may represent a possible method for identification of the genes ...

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 ...

Chromosomal translocations occur in leukemias, lymphomas, sarcomas and some epithelial tumors and some generate unique fusion proteins. These translocation products may provide tumor-specific targets ...

Changes in either chromosome structure or number can occur during cell division. Each human has 46 chromosomes, 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes (XX: female or XY: male). During ...

PATIENTS with the clinical syndrome of mongolism have been shown to have 47 chromosomes instead of the 46 that are present in the normal human karyotype. 1–3 The additional chromosome, a member of the ...
