International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature

The International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature (ISCN) is an international standard for human chromosome nomenclature, which includes band names, symbols and abbreviated terms used in the description of human chromosome and chromosome abnormalities.

The ISCN used as the central reference among cytogeneticists since 1960.[1][2]
