Most apparent balanced chromosomal inversions are usually clinically asymptomatic; however, infertility, miscarriages, and mental retardation have been reported in inversion carriers. We present a small family with a paracentric inversion 1q42.13q43 detected in routine prenatal diagnosis. Molecular cytogenetic methods defined the size of the inversion as 11.7 Mb and excluded other unbalanced chromosomal alterations in the patients. Our findings suggest that intellectual disability is caused by dysfunction, disruption, or position effects of genes located at or near the breakpoints involved in this inversion.

Синдром инвертированной дупликации короткого плеча хромосомы 8 со смежной терминальной делециенй (inv dup del(8p), ORPHA 96092) - редкая хромосомная аномалия (ХА) с частотой 1/10000-1/30000 живорожденных. В статье представлены клинические и молекулярно-цитогенетические характеристики двух неродственных пациентов с синдромом inv dup del(8p) и уточнены механизмы формирования хромосомного дисбаланса. Inverted duplication deletion 8p syndrome (inv dup del(8p), ORPHA 96092) is a rare chromosomal abnormality with a frequency of 1:10,000 - 30,000 newborns. Clinical manifestations of this syndrome include mental retardation, facial anomalies, hypoplasia/agenesis of corpus callosum, scoliosis and/or kyphosis, hypotonia, congenital heart defects. The article presents the clinical and molecular cytogenetic characteristics of two patients with inv dup del (8p) syndrome and clarifies the formation mechanisms.
