- Term: Robertsonian translocations
- Gramatical category: s
- Definition: Whole-arm rearrangements between the acrocentric chromosomes 13-15, 21 and 22, that constitute the most common chromosomal rearrangements in humans.
- Context: A carrier of Robertsonian translocation is phenotypically normal, because the translocation chromosome contains nearly all the genetic material of the long arms of two acrocentric chromosomes.
- Expression: Robertsonian translation carrier, unbalanced Robertsonian translocation
- Weighting mark: nor
