The centromere links a pair of sister chromatids together during cell division. This constricted region of chromosome connects the sister chromatids, creating...

Anti-centromere antibodies (ACAs; often styled solid, anticentromere) are autoantibodies specific to centromere and kinetochore function. They occur in...

misdivision of the centromere or U-type strand exchange. Under normal separation of sister chromatids in anaphase, the centromere will divide longitudinally...

Centromere protein B also known as major centromere autoantigen B is an autoantigen protein of the cell nucleus. In humans, centromere protein B is encoded...

chromosomes are generally organized in pairs, ordered by size and position of centromere for chromosomes of the same size. Karyotyping generally combines light...

and both copies are joined by a centromere, resulting either in an X-shaped structure (pictured above), if the centromere is located equatorially, or a...

separated by a region called the centromere. Robertsonian translocations can only occur between chromosomes which have the centromere very close to one end. This...

heterochromatin appears black on Giemsa staining). They are counted from the centromere out toward the telomeres. A range of loci is specified in a similar way...

ICF syndrome (or Immunodeficiency, Centromere instability and Facial anomalies syndrome) is a very rare autosomal recessive immune disorder. It is characterized...

anti-histone antibodies, antibodies to nuclear pore complexes, anti-centromere antibodies and anti-sp100 antibodies. Each of these antibody subtypes...
