Abstract excerpt
Carriers of balanced pericentric inversions are at risk for producing unbalanced gametes because of meiotic recombination resulting in de novo deletion and duplication of distal chromosome ends. Recombinant chromosomes generally lead to significant imbalances resulting in anomalous clinical phenotypes in offspring, hence they are typically not inherited. Therefore, the vertical transmission of recombinant...
