Cytogenetic banding nomenclature. The shorter arm of a chromosome is termed the p arm or p-arm, while the longer arm is the q arm or q-arm.The chromosomal locus of a typical gene, for example, might be written 3p22.1, where:
Swaminathan was born in Kumbakonam, Madras Presidency, on 7 August 1925. [18] He was the second son of general surgeon M. K. Sambasivan and Parvati Thangammal Sambasivan.

Medical genetics is the branch of medicine that involves the diagnosis and management of hereditary disorders.Medical genetics differs from human genetics in that human genetics is a field of scientific research that may or may not apply to medicine, while medical genetics refers to the application of genetics to medical care.
It is detected on cytogenetics or a karyotype of affected cells. Translocations can be balanced (in an even exchange of material with no genetic information extra or missing, and ideally full functionality) or unbalanced (where the exchange of chromosome material is unequal resulting in extra or missing genes).

In the 1980s Harrison established the Oncology Cytogenetics Service at the Christie Hospital in Manchester. She subsequently held posts at the Royal Free Hospital and University of Southampton . In 2001 Harrison was awarded a £1.7 million grant to investigate the genetic causes of childhood leukaemia . [2]
