    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of duplication for 7q22 --> 7qter and deletion for 7p22 --> 7pter, resulting from a meiotic recombination of a paternal pericentric inversion, inv(7)(p22q22). The newborn boy had the 7q trisomy syndrome. In addition, the diagnosis of chondrodysplasia punctata was made from lumbar and hand X-ray films taken soon after birth. Only two cases of rec(7)dup(7q), both in a single family, have been reported previously. We review 133 offspring with recombinations resulting from pericentric inversions on any chromosomes reported between 1981 and 1995. Of the 133 cases, 110 had a long-arm duplication and short-arm deletion, while only 23 had a short-arm duplication and long-arm deletion. In 85 of the 133 cases, the mother was an inversion carrier (five carriers had two affected offspring), and in 46, the carrier was a father (one carrier had three affected offspring). Kaiser [Hum Genet 1984;68:1-47] reviewed 63 offspring with recombinations derived from a parental pericentric inversion reported between 1972 and 1981. In both surveys, recombinations resulting from pericentric inversions of chromosomes 1, 12, 19, and Y were not found.
