title: Familial pericentric inversion of chromosome 8 : is breakpoint p22q23 important in the formation of unbalanced recombinants?
abstract: A female infant with multiple congenital anomalies was ascertained to have 46,XX,rec(18)dup q, inv(8)(p23q22) through a carrier father with pericentric inversion of chromosome 8 (46,XY,inv(8)(p23q22). Comparison of the clinical and cytogenetic findings are made with previously published similar cases.
