This article reviews from one point of view the current status of the manifestations of isotope effect in a nuclear, atomic and molecular as well as solid state physics. Although these manifestations vary, they have one common feature - they all depend on mass. At present time the Standard Model can't explain the origin of the mass of elementary particles and their hierarchy. The last one don't permit to find the origin of the isotope effect.
