Familial inversion of chromosome No. 8: an affected child and a carrier fetus.

An infant with multiple congenital anomalies was found to have a duplication-deficiency disorder involving chromosome No. 8. The abnormality was identified as an unbalanced recombinant inherited from the mother who was a carrier of a pericentric inversion of chromosome No. 8. The inversion was observed in several members of this family, including a fetus who was diagnosed by an amniocentesis. The inverted chromosome was demonstrated only with the use of a differential staining technique, in this case, by trypsin-Giemsa banding.
