In a partial trisomy there is a small extra piece of a chromosome attached to another chromosome. This may be called an unbalanced translocation....

Deletion

A deletion means that there is part of a chromosome missing. The long arm of the chromosome is referred to as q and the short arm as p. A deletion of one of the long arms of chromosome 13 would be 13q-, and numbers can be used to specify exact areas of the chromosome.
