Translocation is a chromosomal aberration where a fragment attaches to a non-homologous chromosome; it also refers to processes in protein synthesis and nutrient transport.
La translocation est une aberration chromosomique due à la fixation d'un fragment chromosomique sur un chromosome non homologue. Elle peut aussi référer à des processus dans la synthèse protéique et le transport de nutriments.
