A paternal pericentric inversion of chromosome 4 was ascertained through karyotype analysis of an abortus specimen proven to be 46,XX,rec(4),dup q, inv (4)(p13q28). The relationship of paternal pericentric inversion to pregnancy loss is discussed, and a recommendation for karyotype analysis of recurrent abortion specimens is made.

Pericentromeres are heterochromatic regions adjacent to centromeres that ensure accurate chromosome segregation. Despite their conserved function, they are composed of rapidly evolving A/T-rich satellite DNA. This paradoxical observation is partially resolved by epigenetic mechanisms that maintain heterochromatin, independent of specific DNA sequences.

Chromosomal rearrangements mostly result from non-allelic homologous recombination mediated by low-copy repeats (LCRs) or segmental duplications (SDs). Recent studies on recombinant chromosome 18 (rec (18)) have focused on diagnoses and clinical phenotypes. We diagnosed two cases of prenatal rec (18) and identified precise breakpoint intervals using karyotype and chromosomal microarray analyses.

Background: Chromosome aberrations of 10p monosomy and 10q trisomy resulting from parental pericentric inversion 10 are extremely rare, and to date, very few reports have been published on the matter.
Case Presentation: A 30-year-old pregnant woman with recurrent pregnancy loss is enrolled in this research. In this pregnancy, spontaneous abortion occurred in the first trimester of her pregnancy.

Chromosomal inversion is closely related to male infertility. Inversion carriers may produce abnormal gametes, which may lead to partial duplication/deletion of the embryonic chromosome and result in spontaneous abortion, a fetus with multiple anomalies, or birth of a malformed child. Genetic counselling remains challenging for these carriers in clinical practice.

Background: Because of the significant occurrence of "WAGR-region" deletions among de novo mutations detected in congenital aniridia, DNA diagnosis is critical for all sporadic cases of aniridia due to its help in making an early diagnosis of WAGR syndrome. Standard cytogenetic karyotype study is a necessary step of molecular diagnostics in patients with deletions and in the patients' parents as it reveals complex chromosomal rearrangements and the risk of having another affected child, as well as to provide prenatal and/or preimplantation diagnostics.
Case Presentation: DNA samples were obtained from the proband (a 2-year-old boy) and his two healthy parents.
