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.
