Translocations, inversions, and point deletions are types of genetic mutations. A translocation occurs when segments of two different (nonhomologous) chromosomes are switched (eg, the long arm of chromosome 9 switched with the short arm of chromosome 16). An inversion occurs when a portion of a chromosome is inserted into the correct position in the DNA sequence, only in the opposite orientation (ie, flipped). A point mutation occurs when a DNA base (nucleotide) is substituted for a different base, dropped from the sequence, or another base is inserted into the sequence.
Translocation: t (14q21q), meaning from long arm of 14 to long arm of 21
