A new pericentric inversion of chromosome 6 in an abnormal infant.
An apparently de novo case of a previously unreported pericentric inversion of a No. 6 chromosome present in an abnormal infant is described. The possibility of an association between the abnormal karyotype and phenotype is discussed. The authors express the desirability for precise documentation of balanced chromosomal rearrangements.
