Pericentric inversions of chromosome 4: report of a new family and review of the literature

Abstract: A family was cytogenetically studied because of the birth of a male child with a multiple congenital anomaly pattern, in whom a dup (4q) recombinant was found. His phenotypically normal mother's karyotype showed an apparently balanced pericentric inversion in a chromosome 4. So as to analyze the occurrence of recombinants, the cytogenetic data from this family are compared with those of the 18 previously reported familial cases of pericentric inversions (PIs) of chromosome 4. The congenital anomalies observed … Show more

“…Precedence for reduced recombination on inversion chromosomes (both within inverted segments and in flanking regions) came first from studies of Drosophila [Sturtevant and Beadle, 1936]. Multiple reports of large familial pericentric inversions of chromosome 4 with breakpoints in the q11‐q12 region have been reported [reviewed in Villa et al, 1995; Stipoljev et al, 2002]. There is precedence for common inversions elsewhere in the genome that reduce recombination.…”

“…According to the previous conclusion, duplicated segments are always longer than deleted ones in viable inv. dup del cases [ 6 , 12 , 13 ]. It sounds reasonable because a large deletion might be more deleterious than a large duplication.…”
