(Autosomal structural rearrangements) A good example of this is the deleted B group chromosome resulting in the "cri du chat". This could arise by at least four different mechanisms which are terminal deletion, interstitial deletion, translocation, and unequal chromatid intrachange, and there are at least eight families in which the mechanism has been shown to be a reciprocal translocation. 2, record 1, English, - reciprocal%20translocation
