Centromeric index

Centromeric index is a value used in cytogenetics when describing chromosomes. It is calculated according to the position of the centromere as the ratio of the length of the short arm p to the length of the entire chromosome p+q. Based on this value, we divide chromosomes into metacentric, submetacentric, acrocentric, etc.
