Abstract
A cytological analysis of the pairing configurations in meiosis in a 19-week human fetus with a de novo paracentric inversion of chromosome 7 (q11.23)(q21.1) is reported, using fluorescent in situ hybridization with a chromosome 7 DNA library, a DNA probe for the centromeric region of chromosome 7, and a probe for the William Syndrome Critical Region (WSCR) at 7q11.23. Of 1079 pachytene cells, 58% exhibited complete heterosynapsis of the inverted region while only 10.3% of cells exhibited the expected loop formation. Meiotic progression was observed to be normal.Entities:
