Segment Interstitial

Interstitial segments (IS) are regions of genetic material that are located between centromeres and chromosome breakpoints. They can occur with certain chromosomal abnormalities such as reciprocal translocations, rings, insertions and deletions. Although the interstitial parts have not been identified for a long time, their functional role in the development of the organism remains poorly understood.

Interstitials are segments of DNA located in the interstitium that is between chromosomal
