Sperm-FISH analysis in a pericentric chromosome 1 inversion, 46,XY,inv(1)(p22q42), associated with infertility
31 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
No phenotypic effect is observed in most inversion heterozygotes. However, reproductive risks may occur in the form of infertility, spontaneous abortions or chromosomally unbalanced children as a consequence of meiotic recombination between inverted and non-inverted chromosomes. An odd number of crossovers within the inverted segment results in gametes bearing recombinant chromosomes with a duplication of the...
