International System for Human Cytogenomic Nomenclature
(Redirected from
International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature
)The International System for Human Cytogenomic Nomenclature (previously International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature), ISCN in short, is an international standard for
chromosome abnormalities
.
The ISCN has been used as the central reference among cytogeneticists since 1960.[1][2]
autosomal chromosome pairs, both the female (XX) and male (XY) versions of the two sex chromosomes, as well as the mitochondrial genome (at bottom left).
Abbreviations of this system include a minus sign (-) for chromosome deletions, and del for deletions of parts of a chromosome.[4]
