We describe a family in which the largest hitherto reported pericentric inversion of chromosome 18, inv (18) (p11.22q23), segregates. Individuals heterozygous for the nonrecombinant inversion were ...

A heterozygous pericentric inversion of chromosome 12 (inv (12)) was prenatally diagnosed. The breakpoints were localized to p12.3 and q14, resulting in more than one-third of the total length of ...

The present study and a review of the literature shows that inv (16) is an uncommon aberration in t-AML and, like balanced translocations to chromosome bands 11q23 and 21q22 and the t (15;17), often ...

In Arabidopsis thaliana, chromosome arms are DNA-hypomethylated and enriched with the euchromatin-specific histone mark H3K4me3, while pericentromeric regions are DNA-hypermethylated and enriched ...

In zebra finches, sperm velocity and morphology and hence reproductive success strongly depend on a specific mutation (an inversion) on one of the sex chromosomes, called Z. This was discovered by ...

A technology developed to detect a chromosome inversion for a rare disease will likely be used to look for similar inversions in other behavioral diseases, such as autism and schizophrenia. By ...

On the chromosome 4 of the plant, a so-called inversion occurred: The chromosome broke at two points and was reassembled again. The broken out section was reinserted, but rotated by 180°.

The genetic pattern, known as an inversion, is a stretch of the DNA code that runs backwards in people who carry it. Usually, such rearrangements of a chromosome are harmful to carriers.
