Familial pericentric inversion of the Y chromosome
Abstract
Cytogenetic investigation of a healthy couple with 4 spontaneous abortions revealed a pericentric inversion of the Y chromosome. The same abnormality was found in three other members of the family. All of them have normal children without fetal wastage. This finding suggests that the pericentric inversion of the Y chromosome affects neither the phenotype nor reproductive performance.
