Descriptor isocromosomas
Scope note: Cromosomas metacéntricos producidos durante la MEIOSIS o MITOSIS cuando el CENTRÓMERO se divide transversalmente en lugar de hacerlo longitudinalmente. Los cromosomas resultantes tras esta división anormal son un cromosoma que tiene los dos brazos largos del cromosoma original, pero no brazos cortos, y otro cromosoma que tiene los dos brazos cortos y no tiene brazos largos. Cada uno de estos isocromosomas constituye una duplicación y deleción simultánea.

Scope note: Metacentric chromosomes produced during MEIOSIS or MITOSIS when the CENTROMERE splits transversely instead of longitudinally. The chromosomes produced by this abnormal division are one chromosome having the two long arms of the original chromosome, but no short arms, and the other chromosome consisting of the two short arms and no long arms. Each of these isochromosomes constitutes a simultaneous duplication and deletion.
