Pericentric inversion of chromosome No. 8
The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine
|May 1, 1976
Summary
A spontaneous pericentric inversion of chromosome 8 (inv(8)(p23q23)) was identified in an infant with multiple malformations. This chromosomal abnormality may be linked to the infant's clinical features due to minor genetic material loss.
Area of Science:
- Cytogenetics
- Human Genetics
- Clinical Genetics
Background:
- Multiple congenital malformations in infants can arise from various genetic factors.
- Chromosomal abnormalities, including inversions, are a significant cause of developmental disorders.
