  3. International System for Human Cytogenomic Nomenclature

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_for...

    The International System for Human Cytogenomic Nomenclature (ISCN; previously the International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature) is an international standard for human chromosome nomenclature, which includes band names, symbols, and abbreviated terms used in the description of human chromosome and chromosome abnormalities.

  4. Cytogenetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytogenetics

    Cytogenetics is essentially a branch of genetics, but is also a part of cell biology/cytology (a subdivision of human anatomy), that is concerned with how the chromosomes relate to cell behaviour, particularly to their behaviour during mitosis and meiosis. [1]

  5. Gene nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_nomenclature

    But for certain classes of abbreviations or acronyms (such as clinical trial acronyms [e.g., ECOG] or standardized polychemotherapy regimens [e.g., CHOP]), this pattern may be reversed, because the short form is more widely used and the expansion is merely parenthetical to the discussion at hand. The same is true of gene/protein symbols.

  6. Molecular cytogenetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_cytogenetics

    Molecular cytogenetics combines two disciplines, molecular biology and cytogenetics, and involves the analysis of chromosome structure to help distinguish normal and cancer-causing cells. Human cytogenetics began in 1956 when it was discovered that normal human cells contain 46 chromosomes.

  7. Locus (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_(genetics)

    Cytogenetic banding nomenclature. The shorter arm of a chromosome is termed the p arm or p-arm, while the longer arm is the q arm or q-arm. The chromosomal locus of a typical gene, for example, might be written 3p22.1, where: [citation needed] 3 = chromosome 3; p = p-arm; 22 = region 2, band 2 (read as "two, two", not "twenty-two") 1 = sub-band 1

    This is a list of abbreviations used in medical prescriptions, including hospital orders (the patient-directed part of which is referred to as sig codes).This list does not include abbreviations for pharmaceuticals or drug name suffixes such as CD, CR, ER, XT (See Time release technology § List of abbreviations for those).

  9. 46,XX/46,XY - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/46,XX/46,XY

    The cause of the condition lies in conception or utero with the aggregation of two distinct zygotes or blastocysts (one of which expresses 46,XX and the other of which expresses 46,XY) into a single embryo, [4] which subsequently leads to the development of a single individual with two distinct cell lines, instead of a pair of fraternal twins.
