Types
Types of deletion include the following:
- 'Terminal Deletion' - a deletion that occurs towards the end of a chromosome.
- Intercalary Deletion / Interstitial Deletion - a deletion that occurs from the interior of a chromosome.
- microdeletion - a relatively small amount of deletion (up to 5kb that could include a dozen genes).
Microdeletion usually can be found in children with physical abnormalities, because large amount of deletion results in immediate abortion.

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“The bourgeoisie loves so-called “positive” types and novels with happy endings since they lull one into thinking that it is fine to simultaneously acquire capital and maintain one’s innocence, to be a beast and still be happy.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
