Antenatal diagnosis of a de novo paracentric inversion of chromosome 11
Prenatal Diagnosis
|January 1, 1987
Insights
A new chromosome 11 inversion was found during pregnancy. Long-term follow-up shows the child
Area of Science:
- Genetics
- Human Genetics
- Chromosomal Abnormalities
Background:
- De novo chromosomal inversions are rare genetic events.
- Antenatal diagnosis allows for early identification of such abnormalities.
Observation:
- This report details a specific case of a de novo paracentric inversion on chromosome 11.
- The inversion was detected during routine antenatal screening.
Findings:
- Long-term clinical and developmental follow-up data for the affected child are presented.
- The study discusses the clinical significance and outcomes associated with de novo inversions.
Implications:
- Understanding the impact of de novo inversions is crucial for genetic counseling.
- This case contributes to the literature on chromosomal abnormalities and their long-term effects.
Abstract:
A de novo paracentric inversion of chromosome 11 identified through antenatal diagnosis is described along with long-term follow-up information on the child and discussion of reported experiences with de novo inversions.
