  15. Robertsonian translocation
    • Nonreciprocal chromosome translocation involving a pair of one of these:
    • 13,14,15,21,22
    • ^ these are acrocentric, i.e. centromere is near one end
    • A pair of these different chromosomes fuse at the centromere and the short arms are lost
    • Balanced (ok), Unbalanced (Down (21), Patau's (13), abortion)
