Subtypes of structural aberrations (second section of the tag):
add -- addition of unknown origin chromosomal material
del -- deletion
der -- derivative chromosome
dera -- derivative chromosome formed by gaining of additional
chromosomal material of unknown origin
derd -- derivative chromosome formed by deletion of some regions
dert -- derivative chromosome formed by translocation events
dic -- dicentric chromosomes
dup -- duplications
dupr -- inverted duplications
hsr -- homogeneously staining region
i -- isochromosomes
idic -- isodicentric chromosomes
ins -- insertions
inv -- inversions
