Structural Abnormalities TypeSymbolNature Translocationt Two chromosomes break, rejoin, and exchange segments DeletiondelA segment of chromosome is lost Inversioninv Two breaks occur; the middle piece is rotated and re-joins Fragile sitefraA chromosomal site with a tendency to break Heterochromic site h Chromosomal region that stains differently from the rest, often of variable size in the normal population DuplicationdupDuplication of a segment of chromosome Ringr Arises from breaks in both arms, with loss of both ends to form a ring
