Isochromosome formation

Schematic diagram showing the mechanisms of X isochromosome formation: transverse centromere division resulting in a monocentric i(Xq) (left) and p-arm breakage at p11.2 followed by sister chromatid fusion resulting in an isodicentric idic(X)(p11.2) chromosome (right) (Wikimedia Commons).
