| Popis: | The sperm chromosomes of a man heterozygous for inv(20)(p13q11.2) were analyzed. Twenty-six sperm chromosome complements were examined, of which fourteen contained the normal chromosome, and twelve the inverted chromosome. None of the sperm complements contained a recombinant chromosome 20. The frequency of structural chromosomal aberrations unrelated to the inversion was 11.5% (3/26). Numerical aberrations were not observed. The percentages of X- and Y-bearing sperm were 56% and 44%, respectively, which was similar to the expected 1:1 ratio. |
