    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomal_translocation

    In genetics, chromosome translocation is a phenomenon that results in unusual rearrangement of chromosomes. This includes balanced and unbalanced translocation, with two main types: reciprocal , and Robertsonian translocation.

    A translocation chromosome mutation can be of two types — reciprocal and Robertsonian. In a reciprocal translocation, two different chromosomes have exchanged pieces with each other. In a...

    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 flaws in chromosomes, which can lead to serious genetic and health conditions like cancer.

  5. Translocation - National Human Genome Research Institute

    www.genome.gov/genetics-glossary/Translocation

    A translocation, as related to genetics, occurs when a chromosome breaks and the (typically two) fragmented pieces re-attach to different chromosomes. The detection of chromosomal translocations can be important for the diagnosis of certain genetic diseases and disorders.

    In genetics, chromosome translocation is a phenomenon that results in unusual rearrangement of chromosomes. This includes balanced and unbalanced translocation, with two main types: reciprocal, and Robertsonian translocation. Reciprocal translocation is a chromosome abnormality caused by exchange of parts between non-homologous chromosomes.

    In a translocation, a segment from one chromosome is transferred to a nonhomologous chromosome or to a new site on the same chromosome. Translocations place genes in new linkage relationships...

    A translocation occurs when a segment of a chromosome dissociates and reattaches to a different, nonhomologous chromosome. Translocations can be benign or have devastating effects depending on how the positions of genes are altered with respect to regulatory sequences.

    Translocations: A portion of one chromosome is transferred to another chromosome. There are two main types of translocation. In a reciprocal translocation, segments from two different chromosomes have been exchanged.
