Isochromosomes arise during cell division, specifically during mitosis or meiosis. The exact mechanism is not fully
The presence of isochromosomes can lead to genetic imbalances, as the cell will have an abnormal number
Commonly observed isochromosomes include those of the X chromosome, often seen in Turner syndrome variants, and
