High resolution of a small pericentric inversion of chromosome 11.

摘要

A pericentric inversion 11 (p11q13.3) segragating in two generations is described. A high degree of resolution of the inversion was achieved by using prophase and prometaphase chromosomes from methotrexate-synchronised cells. The inversion occurred in a mother and three of her ten children. It had no detectable clinical consequences.
