[edit]

The first and second paragraphs, combining their efforts, fail utterly to give a clear idea of what a Robertsonian Fusion/Translocation is. It looks like someone was in mid-paragraph on Down Sydrome when someone else jumped in to add yet another bad definition. I'm sorry I can't fix it myself - I'm trying to study Robertsonian Translocations, so I'm not in a position to write a clear article myself. Cathal


The section in parentheses intended to explain nonhomologous acrocentric chromosomes is confusing. The two terms should be defined separately. Maybe I'll get around to it sometime. Abe (talk) 21:21, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've made the appropriate changes to minimize confusion regarding non-homologous and acrocentric chromosomes. Matthewmazurek (talk) 05:01, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've rewritten parts of the introduction to make it easier to understand, and removed the banner Sgroey (talk) 04:46, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Balanced vs Unbalanced?

What does that actually mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.221.13.140 (talk) 07:44, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A balanced heterozygote has the same types and amounts of genetic materials as a wild type individual has and thus would not show symptoms. Previous is pure guessing, and for more information, see Chromosomal translocation. Sky6t 14:09, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
