The Largest Paracentric Inversion, The Highest Rate Of Recombinant Spermatozoa. Case Report: 46,Xy, Inv(2)(Q21.2Q37.3) And Literature Review

Abstract: Carriers of inversions involving euchromatic regions are at risk of having unbalanced offspring due to meiotic crossover. In carriers, recombination can occur during gametogenesis and cause genetically unbalanced sperm and subsequently unbalanced embryos. Here we present segregation analysis results of an infertile male with 46,XY,inv(2) (q21.2q37.3) using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) on sperm cells. This is the largest paracentric inversion (PAI) reported so far in a meiotic segregation analysis s… Show more

“…There is tentative evidence that mortality rates are increased in embryos sired by heterokaryotypic males for both chromosomes Tgu13 and TguZ (by a weighted average of 4.5 % for each of the chromosomes across populations). We suspect that these effects are not type I errors resulting from multiple testing because also in human males noticeable rates of unbalanced gametes are produced only when an inversion (both para- and pericentric) spans more than half of the chromosome [ 5 , 11 , 12 ]. In fact, our Fig.…”
