The cytogenetic study of a case of Fanconi syndrome in a 16-year-old boy revealed besides chromosomal breakages, quadriradials and dicentric chromosomes, a pericentric inversion of chromosome No. 1. An uncle and an aunt on the paternal side presented likewise this pericentric inversion, however without breakages or clinical signs of Fanconi syndrome. Another paternal aunt showed short thumbs, but without chromosomal anomalies. The authors point to possible genetic repercussions of this familial pericentric inversion. 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

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

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

In this study, we report conventional and molecular cytogenetic studies in a patient with multiple anomalies who is a carrier of a pericentric inversion on chromosome Y and a chromosome 15p+. His parents were phenotypically normal. The father is a carrier of a pericentric inversion of chromosome Y, and the mother carries a large chromosome 15p+ variant. The inverted Y chromosome was demonstrated by GTG- and CBG-banding, and DAPI-staining. The presence of extra chromosomal material on the chromosome 15p, that was C-band and DAPI positive, was demonstrated by trypsin G-banding. This suggests that the extra chromosomal material contained repetitive DNA sequences. NOR-staining indicated the presence a nuclear organizer region at the junction of the chromosome 15p+ material. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), with chromosome X and Y painting probes, alpha- and classic-satellite probes specific for chromosome Y, alpha- and beta-satellite III probes for chromosome 15 were used to elucidate the nature of both the inverted Y chromosome and chromosome 15p+. The result with chromosome X and Y painting probes, alpha-satellite, classic-satellite, and DYS59 probes specific for chromosome Y revealed the rearrangement of the Y chromosome was an inv(Y)(p11.2q11.22 or q11.23). FISH with alpha-satellite and beta-satellite III probes for chromosome 15 demonstrated that the extra chromosomal material on the chromosome 15 probably represents beta-satellite III sequences. The possible roles of the simultaneous occurrence of an inverted Y and the amplified DNA sequence on chromosome 15p in the abnormal phenotype of the proband are discussed. 相似文献

Oculo-auriculo-vertebral (Goldenhar) spectrum associated with pericentric inversion 9: coincidental findings or etiologic factor? 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Oculo-auriculo-vertebral (OAV) spectrum or Goldenhar syndrome is a complex and heterogeneous condition characterized by hemifacial microsomia (unilateral ear abnormalities and ipsilateral mandibular hypoplasia) as well as vertebral anomalies and epibulbar dermoids or lipodermoids. Although most cases of OAV spectrum are sporadic, both autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant inheritance have been reported. Furthermore, the association of OAV spectrum with different types of chromosomal abnormalities has been described. We present a premature newborn delivered after 36 weeks of gestation, whose birth weight was 2,100 g, birth length 43 cm and head circumference 32.5 cm. OAV spectrum with associated axial skeleton anomalies, eventration of the right hemidiaphragm, accessory spleen, unlobulated right lung, agenesis of right kidney, right ovary and right uterine horn, and partial agenesis of corpus callosum were found. She was the second child of unrelated parents, who have a healthy boy. Both parents refused chromosomal analysis of their peripheral blood. Trypsin G-banding and C-banding chromosomal analysis of the patient's peripheral blood revealed a pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 with break points at p11 and q13. This may be a coincidental or causal finding. 相似文献

Molecular characterization of the pericentric inversion of chimpanzee chromosome 11 homologous to human chromosome 9 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
In addition to the fusion of human chromosome 2, nine pericentric inversions are the most conspicuous karyotype differences between humans and chimpanzees. In this study we identified the breakpoint regions of the pericentric inversion of chimpanzee chromosome 11 (PTR 11) homologous to human chromosome 9 (HSA 9). The break in homology between PTR 11p and HSA 9p12 maps to pericentromeric segmental duplications, whereas the breakpoint region orthologous to 9q21.33 is located in intergenic single-copy sequences. Close to the inversion breakpoint in PTR 11q, large blocks of alpha satellites are located, which indicate the presence of the centromere. Since G-banding analysis and the comparative BAC analyses performed in this study imply that the inversion breaks occurred in the region homologous to HSA 9q21.33 and 9p12, but not within the centromere, the structure of PTR 11 cannot be explained by a single pericentric inversion. In addition to this pericentric inversion of PTR 11, further events like centromere repositioning or a second smaller inversion must be assumed to explain the structure of PTR 11 compared with HSA 9. 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.

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

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

Summary Chromosomal Q polymorphism was studied in 157 adolescents of Yakut nationality (67 males and 90 females) living in Eastern Siberia, on the territory of the Yakut ASSR. Of the 157 subjects, 123 had chromosomal Q variants while 34 (21.7%) had no Q-heterochromatin bands with fluorescence levels 4 and 5. The mean number of Q variants per individual ranged from 0 to 5, with a mean of 1.64. No differences were observed in the frequency of Q variants between sexes. The observed homo- and heteromorph frequencies always agreed with those predicted by the law of Hardy-Weinberg. Of the 157 subjects, four (2.55%) had pericentric inversion of the Q-heterochromatin band in chromosome 3. The following topics are discussed: (1) possible selective value of chromosomal Q-heterochromatin material in the adaptation of human populations to extreme environmental factors, in particular to cold; (2) the taxonomic value of chromosomal Q polymorphism in ethnic anthropology. 相似文献

Molecular characterisation of the pericentric inversion that distinguishes human chromosome 5 from the homologous chimpanzee chromosome 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Human and chimpanzee karyotypes differ by virtue of nine pericentric inversions that serve to distinguish human chromosomes 1, 4, 5, 9, 12, 15, 16, 17, and 18 from their chimpanzee orthologues. In this study, we have analysed the breakpoints of the pericentric inversion characteristic of chimpanzee chromosome 4, the homologue of human chromosome 5. Breakpoint-spanning BAC clones were identified from both the human and chimpanzee genomes by fluorescence in situ hybridisation, and the precise locations of the breakpoints were determined by sequence comparisons. In stark contrast to some other characterised evolutionary rearrangements in primates, this chimpanzee-specific inversion appears not to have been mediated by either gross segmental duplications or low-copy repeats, although micro-duplications were found adjacent to the breakpoints. However, alternating purine–pyrimidine (RY) tracts were detected at the breakpoints, and such sequences are known to adopt non-B DNA conformations that are capable of triggering DNA breakage and genomic rearrangements. Comparison of the breakpoint region of human chromosome 5q15 with the orthologous regions of the chicken, mouse, and rat genomes, revealed similar but non-identical syntenic disruptions in all three species. The clustering of evolutionary breakpoints within this chromosomal region, together with the presence of multiple pathological breakpoints in the vicinity of both 5p15 and 5q15, is consistent with the non-random model of chromosomal evolution and suggests that these regions may well possess intrinsic features that have served to mediate a variety of genomic rearrangements, including the pericentric inversion in chimpanzee chromosome 4. 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

The human and chimpanzee genomes are distinguishable in terms of ten gross karyotypic differences including nine pericentric inversions and a chromosomal fusion. Seven of these large pericentric inversions are chimpanzee-specific whereas two of them, involving human chromosomes 1 and 18, were fixed in the human lineage after the divergence of humans and chimpanzees. We have performed detailed molecular and computational characterization of the breakpoint regions of the human-specific inversion of chromosome 1. FISH analysis and sequence comparisons together revealed that the pericentromeric region of HSA 1 contains numerous segmental duplications that display a high degree of sequence similarity between both chromosomal arms. Detailed analysis of these regions has allowed us to refine the p-arm breakpoint region to a 154.2 kb interval at 1p11.2 and the q-arm breakpoint region to a 562.6 kb interval at 1q21.1. Both breakpoint regions contain human-specific segmental duplications arranged in inverted orientation. We therefore propose that the pericentric inversion of HSA 1 was mediated by intra-chromosomal non-homologous recombination between these highly homologous segmental duplications that had themselves arisen only recently in the human lineage by duplicative transposition.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available to authorised users in the online version of this article at .Justyna M.

Only nine non-polymorphic constitutional pericentric inversions of chromosome 9 have been described. We report on a familial inv(9)(p24q13) associated with sterility in three brothers. The mother's chromosomes were normal in blood lymphocytes (n=130); the father was already deceased and his karyotype unknown. However, the presence of any of the maternal chromosomes 9 (as assessed by C-banding) in her carrier children is inconsistent with the assumption of maternal mosaicism. Two single sisters were also carriers. The same rearranged chromosome 9 in the three sterile brothers can hardly be regarded as a fortuitous association, especially when the breakpoints are almost identical to those of the sole inversion previously found in an azoospermic male. If their father was a carrier, the observed sterility may be the result of 'chromosome anticipation', a phenomenon already invoked for certain familial chromosomal rearrangements. 相似文献

Summary Chromosomal Q polymorphism was studied in 200 Russian individuals (94 females and 106 males) living in Kirghizia. Of the 200 individuals, 191 had chromosomal Q polymorphic variants, while nine (4.5%) had no Q bands with fluorescence levels 4 and 5. The mean number of Q variants per individual ranged from 0 to 7, with a mean of 2.9. There were no differences in the frequency of Q variants between sexes. The observed homo- and heteromorphic frequencies completely agreed with those predicted by the law of Hardy-Weinberg. Of the 200 individuals, 12 (6.0%) had pericentric inversion of the Q band in chromosome 3, one individual (0.5%) having a homomorphic form of this inversion. The possible selective value of chromosomal Q heterochromatin material in the adaptation of human populations to extreme environmental factors, in particular to cold, and the possible taxonomic value of inverted Q heterochromatin bands in chromosome 3 in ethnic anthropology, are discussed. 相似文献
