Abstract

A phenotypically otherwise normal homosexual man with a 46,XY,inv(2)(q21q33) karyotype inherited from his mother is described. The breakpoints were different from those observed in the only other case of familial paracentric inversion of chromosome 2 reported in the literature, but in our case they seem to correspond to constitutive and aphidicolin-induced fragile sites.
