Paracentric inversions in man

Clin Genet. 1985 Jul;28(1):87-92. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-0004.1985.tb01224.x.

Abstract

Two new cases of familial paracentric inversions, 46,XY,inv(3)(p21.1p25) and 46,XY,inv(7) (q22.3q36.1) are presented. A review of published cases suggests that prenatal diagnosis for carriers of paracentric inversions is not warranted. However, care must be exercised in eliminating the possibility of insertions.
