title: [Pericentric inversion of chromosome 3, homozygote and heterozygote, and centromeric translation of chromosome 12 in a family of orangutangs. Evolutionary implications].
abstract: An orangutang family is reported in which the father (Piku) is homozygous for a pericentric inversion of chromosome 3 and heterozygous for a structural rearrangement of chromosome 12 (author's nomenclature for this species). The latter is interpreted as transposition of the centromere by insertion into band q213 [in cen (12)(q213)]. Piku's mate has a normal female chromosome complement. His daughters by this mate (Agnès and Ursula) are heterozygous for both his rearrangements.
