Interstitial deletion is caused by two concurrent chromosome breaks that result in the loss of an internal segment of the chromosome. Acentric deletion involves the loss of a fragment of the chromosome that lacks a centromere, microdeletion is a small deletion that may not be detected by traditional cytogenetic analysis, terminal deletion involves the loss of a segment at the end of a chromosome, and partial deletion refers to any deletion that does not involve the loss of an entire chromosome or a set of chromosomes.
