Article Synopsis
- Pericentric inversions, such as inv(9)(p23q22.3), are found in 1-2% of the population and can negatively impact fertility, leading to unbalanced offspring or miscarriages.
- The study identified this specific inversion in 30 carriers primarily from Greek origins, with ties to several families experiencing fertility issues.
- Genetic analysis suggests a founder effect, indicating that this inversion likely originated from a common ancestor in a small population that migrated to Southeast Europe, particularly Northern Greece.
