A family is described in which a pericentric inversion of chromosome 13 (13(p11 q22] was discovered after amniocentesis was performed in a patient with a previous stillborn child with multiple congenital abnormalities, and one surviving Down syndrome offspring with the maternal inversion and an additional trisomy 21. No association between pericentric inversion of chromosome 13 and other chromosomal abnormalities was found in the literature. This study discuss the possible involvement of this type of inversion in the occurrence of chromosomal and phenotypic alterations in the carrier offspring, as well as its role in genetic counseling and in the indication of prenatal diagnosis. 相似文献

A MELAS phenotype and a paternal inherited inversion of chromosome 10 in a female patient: We describe a patient suffering from encephalomyopathy with overlapping symptoms, including MELAS and Kearn-Sayre syndrome features. Mutations in tRNA LEU (UUR) were not found in mtDNA of blood cells, suggesting a different genetic defect. Cytogenetic studies revealed a paternal inherited pericentric inversion of chromosome 10 (p13;q22) pat. Although the presence of the same inversion in the father and in the apparently asymptomatic sister does rather suggest that the concurrence of the mitochondrial disease in the patient was due to chance, some alternative explanations to associate both events might be proposed. 相似文献

Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis was performed to characterize a complex pericentric inversion involving chromosome
5 in a mother and son. The mother had hypertelorism, epicanthal folds, and mild mental deficiency while the son had additional
anomalies that have been observed in patients with cri-du-chat syndrome. Both individuals were found to have an identical
double pericentric inversion [inv5(p15.1q31(inv5(p14q12)))]. Neither inversion breakpoint mapped near the chromosomal regions
implicated in the cri-du-chat syndrome. The phenotype of the son suggests that the inversion process may have affected the
expression of some of the cri-du-chat syndrome genes, suggestive of a genomic imprinting or penetrance effect.

In a girl presenting with features of Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic analysis revealed a rearranged chromosome 4 with monosomy of the distal bands 4pter-->4p16.2 and trisomy of the distal bands 4q35.1-->4qter [rec dup(4q)] due to a large, paternal pericentric inversion. In the following two pregnancies, prenatal diagnosis showed the same imbalance in one fetus and a reverse segmental imbalance [rec dup(4p)] in the other. We discuss the recombination risk of the given inversion with respect to the size of the inverted segment and the viability of the recombinants. The high frequency of recombinants in this family and others suggests a high recurrence risk in similar cases with large pericentric inversions comprising almost entire chromosomes. 相似文献

Summary A fifth case of rec(18) resulting from recombination of a paternal pericentric inversion is described. The propositus' complement includes a chromosome 18 with partial deletion of the long arm, and partial duplication of the short. The recombination risk is evaluated at 5%. The eventuality of deleterious effects of pericentric inversions is discussed. 相似文献

Mitotic chromosome studies carried out on newborn male infant with congenital abnormalities and on his family members showed that the father and paternal grandmother were heterozygotes for an unequal pericentric inversion. The child appeared to have inherited a recombinant duplication/deletion chromosome. The results of meiotic studies carried out on a testicular biopsy from the father were used to ascertain the risk of recurrence of chromosomal abnormalities in future pregnancies. A model is presented which permits the analysis of C-banded diakinetic chromosomes as to whether crossing-over has occurred within the inversion segment or not. In the present study, it was estimated that either one or two cross-overs had occurred in 52% of the cells within the inversion segment. This would result in approximately 26% of the spermatozoa carrying either one of two types of duplication/deficiencies of chromosome No. 4. 相似文献

Four new chromosomal rearrangements are reported in the domestic pig: 3 reciprocal translocations, rcp(4;12)(p13;q13) in a crossbred boar, rcp(1;7)(q17;q26) in a Large White purebred boar, rcp(1;6)(q17;q35) in a purebred synthetic paternal line boar, and a pericentric inversion inv(2)(p13q11) in a crossbred boar. The 1/7 reciprocal translocation and the pericentric inversion were detected in animals that had sired small litters. The effect of the 1/7 translocation was accurately determined: -4.5 piglets born per litter, i.e. -36%. Both the 1/6 and 1/7 reciprocal translocations were of maternal origin. All the chromosomal rearrangements were highlighted using GTG and/or RBG banding techniques. Chromosome painting experiments were also carried out to confirm the proposed hypotheses for the three reciprocal translocations. 相似文献

Summary The potential chromosomal imbalance in offspring of pericentric inversion heterozygotes can be evaluated by measuring (% of haploid autosomal length, % HAL) the chromosomal segments distal to the breakpoints in the inversion. These distal segments were measured in presently reported and published cases of pericentric inversions, divided into two ascertainment groups: (I) those ascertained through recombinant offspring and (II) those ascertained through balanced heterozygotes. The distal segments in group II inversions were significantly larger than those of group I, i.e., the potentially larger chromosomal imbalances were not observed in full-term offspring. These results are discussed in relation to the model of risk of abnormal offspring in the progeny of heterozygotes for structural rearrangements (the chromosome imbalance size-viability model). The mean distal segment sizes for group I and group II pericentric inversions were respectively not significantly different from the mean interchange segment size for a sample of reciprocal translocations divided into the same two ascertainment groups. It was concluded that the restrictions on the size (% HAL) of chromosomal imbalance in offspring surviving until term are similar whether this imbalance arises from reciprocal translocations or pericentric inversions. 相似文献

Pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 is one of the most common structural balanced chromosomal aberrations. It is considered as a paraphysiological variant of a normal karyotype and it is possible to find it as occasional report in healthy subjects. In the last ten years different signals have appeared in literature, concerning carriers of pericentric inversion of chromosome 9, who showed different anomalies of the clinical condition. Today it is difficult, because of the rarity of the data to establish if a true correlation exists between phenotypical anomalies in the subjects studied and the pericentric inversion, or if they are only casual associations. We are trying to find possible correlations between the chromosomal rearrangements and eventual congenital defects. We describe 11 subjects with pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 examined for the presence of dysmorphic signs, mental retardation and repeated miscarriage. 相似文献

We describe a child with facial dysmorphism (trigonocephaly, epicanthus, upturned nose, small ears), thumb hypoplasia, micropenis, jejunal atresia and moderate mental retardation with dysphasia. Cytogenetic workup revealed high spontaneous level of chromosomal aberrations (without specific pattern and no quadriradial figures) and borderline to absent hypersensitivity to mitomycin C, making a diagnosis of Fanconi anemia unlikely. The child described here shares similarities with a small number of previous reports. We suggest to refer to this entity as episphalosomic syndrome. Episphalosomic syndrome shows some clinical overlap with Fanconi anemia, but lacks its cytogenetic hallmark. The hematological complications of Fanconi anemia have not been reported in this entity. 相似文献

The clinical significance of pericentric inversion of the human Y chromosome: a rare "third" type of heteromorphism 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A 28-year-old normal East Indian was found to have a pericentric inversion of the Y chromosome. After reviewing the literature, it was concluded that an inverted Y chromosome does not impede the production of normal sperm and does not predispose to non-disjunction of other chromosomes in the progeny. Thus, the earlier concept of nondisjunction was rejected, and it is suggested that aberrant cases with aneuploidy and an inverted Y are fortuitous. The pericentric inverted Y is inherited from generation to generation and has no clinical significance. The prevalence of males with pericentric Y inversion in the general population is approximately 1 per 1000. It is suggested that a pericentric inversion of the Y chromosome is a rare chromosomal heteromorphism and should be called type III. 相似文献

Angelman syndrome (AS) most frequently results from large (> or = 5 Mb) de novo deletions of chromosome 15q11-q13. The deletions are exclusively of maternal origin, and a few cases of paternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 15 have been reported. The latter finding indicates that AS is caused by the absence of a maternal contribution to the imprinted 15q11-q13 region. Failure to inherit a paternal 15q11-q13 contribution results in the clinically distinct disorder of Prader-Willi syndrome. Cases of AS resulting from translocations or pericentric inversions have been observed to be associated with deletions, and there have been no confirmed reports of balanced rearrangements in AS. We report the first such case involving a paracentric inversion with a breakpoint located approximately 25 kb proximal to the reference marker D15S10. This inversion has been inherited from a phenotypically normal mother. No deletion is evident by molecular analysis in this case, by use of cloned fragments mapped to within approximately 1 kb of the inversion breakpoint. Several hypotheses are discussed to explain the relationship between the inversion and the AS phenotype. 相似文献

We report on two unrelated cases of pericentric inversion 46,XY,inv(7)(p11q21.1) associated with distinct pattern of malformation including mental retardation, development delay, ectrodactyly, facial dismorphism, high arched palate. Additionally, one case was found to be characterized by mesodermal dysplasia. Cytogenetic analysis of the families indicated that one case was a paternally inherited inversion whereas another case was a maternally inherited one. Molecular cytogenetic studies have shown paternal inversion to have a breakpoint within centromeric heterochromatin being the cause of alphoid DNA loss. Maternal inversion was also associated with a breakpoint within centromeric heterochromatin as well as inverted euchromatic chromosome region flanked by two disrupted alphoid DNA blocks. Basing on molecular cytogenetic data we hypothesize the differences of clinical manifestations to be produced by a position effect due to localization of breakpoints within variable centromeric heterochromatin and, alternatively, due to differences in the location breakpoints, disrupteding different genes within region 7q21-q22. Our results reconfirm previous linkage analyses suggested 7q21-q22 as a locus of ectrodactily and propose inv (7)(p11q21.1) as a cause of recognizable pattern of malformations or a new chromosomal syndrome. 相似文献

It has been demonstrated in animal studies that, in animals heterozygous for pericentric chromosomal inversions, loop formation is greatly reduced during meiosis. This results in absence of recombination within the inverted segment, with recombination seen only outside the inversion. A recent study in yeast has shown that telomeres, rather than centromeres, lead in chromosome movement just prior to meiosis and may be involved in promoting recombination. We studied by cytogenetic analysis and DNA polymorphisms the nature of meiotic recombination in a three-generation family with a large pericentric X chromosome inversion, inv(X)(p21.1q26), in which Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) was cosegregating with the inversion. On DNA analysis there was no evidence of meiotic recombination between the inverted and normal X chromosomes in the inverted segment. Recombination was seen at the telomeric regions, Xp22 and Xq27-28. No deletion or point mutation was found on analysis of the DMD gene. On the basis of the FISH results, we believe that the X inversion is the mutation responsible for DMD in this family. Our results indicate that (1) pericentric X chromosome inversions result in reduction of recombination between the normal and inverted X chromosomes; (2) meiotic X chromosome pairing in these individuals is likely initiated at the telomeres; and (3) in this family DMD is caused by the pericentric inversion. 相似文献

Etiology of mental retardation is diverse. 120 Students from 11 special training, education, and rehabilitation subclasses were investigated cytogenetically for determining the contribution of chromosomal abnormalities to mild mental retardation. 23 of the 120 children (19%) had chromosomal abnormalities: thirteen cases a classical trisomy 21 (the male:female ratio was 9:4), three a balanced autosomal reciprocal translocation, one a pericentric inversion of chromosome 9, and six fragile-X syndrome (The male:female ratio was 5:1). 相似文献

The patterns of chromosomal pairing and chiasma distribution were analyzed in male Sitka deer mice (Peromyscus sitkensis) polymorphic for terminally positioned pericentric inversions of chromosomes 6 and 7. Gand C-banding of somatic metaphases indicated that the inversions involved 30% and 40% of chromosomes 6 and 7, respectively. Analysis of silver-stained synaptonemal complexes in surface-spread zygotene and pachytene nuclei from heterozygous individuals revealed that inversion loops were not formed. The inverted segments proceeded directly to heterosynapsis without an intervening homosynaptic phase, and the heteromorphic bivalents remained straight-paired throughout pachynema. C-banded pachytene nuclei corroborated the occurrence of heterosynapsis, as the heteromorphic bivalents exhibited nonaligned centromeres. Analysis of diplonema and diakinesis indicated that crossing over had not occurred within the heterosynapsed inverted segments. The observation of chiasma suppression within the inversions indicates that pericentric inversion heterozygosity does not lead to the production of unbalanced gametes. Heterosynapsis of the inverted segments during zygonema and pachynema and the resulting chiasma suppression therefore represent a meiotic mechanism for the maintenance of pericentric inversion polymorphisms in this population of P. sitkensis. 相似文献

Summary The Leuven cytogenetic centre experience on pericentric inversion in man is discussed with exclusion of the pericentric inversions of the heterochromatic blocks of chromosomes 1 and 9. In a total of 51,500 patients, referred for constitutional chromosome analysis during the period 1970–1985, pericentric inversions were found in 24 index patients. The breakpoints detected in these different pericentric inversions are summarized and compared to those found in previous reports. Bands 2p13, 2q21, 5q31, 6c21, 10q22, and 12q13 were shown to be repeatedly involved in the different studies and, furthermore, breakpoints at bands 2q11, 5p13, 5p15, 5q13, 7q11, 11q25, and 14p11 were present in this study as well as in our previous review on reciprocal autosomal translocations. In 13 familial pericentric inversions, even after exclusion of all inversion carrier probands, a 1.6:1 excess of pericentric inversion carriers versus karyotypically normal progeny was observed. While chromosomally unbalanced offspring represent 3.5% of all chromosomally investigated liveborns of the present study, 7.1% of all liveborn inversion carrier offspring presented with a mental retardation and/or multiple congenital anomalies (MR/MCA) problem. Additional chromosomal abnormalities, i.e. a 21 trisomy and an accessory small ring chromosome were observed in two pericentric inversion carriers. These data and results are discussed and compared to the data available in the literature. 相似文献

The three chromosomal species of theMus terricolor complex possess 2n = 40 chromosomes. We show that their karyotypes differ in stable heterochromatin variations fixed in homozygous
condition as prominent short arms in autosomes 1, 3 and 6. The three chromosomal species exhibit a high incidence of polymorphisms
for Robertsonian fusions and pericentric inversions. Breeding experiments and histological analysis of testis show that heterozygosity
for pericentric inversions and Robertsonian fusions had no effect on fertility. Meiotic analysis shows normal overall progression
of meiosis in the heterozygotes, which is consistent with their normal gametogenesis. Nevertheless, both the inversion and
fusion heterozygotes had undergone some alterations in the regular process of homologous synapsis, and it appeared that certain
features of the meiotic system circumvented the potential negative effects of these polymorphic chromosomal rearrangements.
The results indicate that the attributes of the meiotic system in a given organism could modulate the potential of a chromosomal
rearrangement as reproductive barrier. The meiotic modulation hypothesis offers an explanation for the contradictory effects
of the similar kinds of chromosomal mutations reported in different species. 相似文献

Summary A pericentric inversion in one of the chromosomes 12, found in two families living in the same region, is deseribed. This inversion was detected during routine chromosomal analysis in two separate laboratories. The breakpoints were at 12p112 and 12q13. The inverted segment represented approximately 20% of the length of chromosome 12. Twenty nine descendants of carriers of the inversion were investigated, and the inversion was present in 23 of them. The other six descendants showed a normal karyotype. After correction for sample bias with the single selection scheme, a segregation ratio of 3:1 was estimated, indicating that the inverted chromosome 12 was preferentially transmitted. All the carriers of the inversion were phenotypically normal, without noticeable fertility disturbances. 相似文献

Summary A pericentric inversion of chromosome 12 has been followed in three large independently ascertained Danish families. Out of a total number of 52 persons examined, 25 were found to carry the inversion. The break-points in all three families were localized to p13 and q13, resulting in more than one-third of the total length of the chromosomes being inverted. However, no chromosomal aberrations arising because of meiotic crossing-over inside the inverted area have been found among the offspring of the carriers. The percentage of spontaneous abortions among carriers is found to be high, viz. 33%. The segregation rate is calculated to be 0.58, which is not significantly different from an expected segregation rate of 0.5. In family 3, an additional inversion of a chromosome 9 has been found in 4 individuals. Our results are discussed in relation to previous findings and with respect to the genetic counselling of families with pericentric inversions. 相似文献
