Paracentric inversion of a human chromosome 7. 1976

H Shimba, and K Ohtaki, and K Tanabe, and T Sofuni

In the course of chromosome studies of atomic bomb survivors in Hiroshima using the trypsin-G-banding and Q-banding methods, a 40-year-old male was found to have an abnormal banding pattern in the long arm of a chromosome 7, although no such abnormality was detected by ordinary staining method. Since all other chromosomes apparently had normal banding patterns, the abnormality was determined to be a paracentric inversion of a chromosome 7, which is described as 46, XY, inv (7) (q22q31). This is the first demonstration of a possible paracentric inversion in man.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007446 Chromosome Inversion An aberration in which a chromosomal segment is deleted and reinserted in the same place but turned 180 degrees from its original orientation, so that the gene sequence for the segment is reversed with respect to that of the rest of the chromosome. Inversion, Chromosome,Inversion, Chromosomal,Chromosomal Inversion,Chromosomal Inversions,Chromosome Inversions,Inversions, Chromosomal,Inversions, Chromosome
D008297 Male Males
D008540 Meiosis A type of CELL NUCLEUS division, occurring during maturation of the GERM CELLS. Two successive cell nucleus divisions following a single chromosome duplication (S PHASE) result in daughter cells with half the number of CHROMOSOMES as the parent cells. M Phase, Meiotic,Meiotic M Phase,M Phases, Meiotic,Meioses,Meiotic M Phases,Phase, Meiotic M,Phases, Meiotic M
D002869 Chromosome Aberrations Abnormal number or structure of chromosomes. Chromosome aberrations may result in CHROMOSOME DISORDERS.

D002906 Chromosomes, Human, 6-12 and X The medium-sized, submetacentric human chromosomes, called group C in the human chromosome classification. This group consists of chromosome pairs 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 and the X chromosome. Chromosomes C,Group C Chromosomes,Chromosomes, Human, 6-12,Chromosome, Group C,Chromosomes, Group C,Group C Chromosome
D003434 Crossing Over, Genetic The reciprocal exchange of segments at corresponding positions along pairs of homologous CHROMOSOMES by symmetrical breakage and crosswise rejoining forming cross-over sites (HOLLIDAY JUNCTIONS) that are resolved during CHROMOSOME SEGREGATION. Crossing-over typically occurs during MEIOSIS but it may also occur in the absence of meiosis, for example, with bacterial chromosomes, organelle chromosomes, or somatic cell nuclear chromosomes. Crossing Over,Crossing-Over, Genetic,Crossing Overs,Genetic Crossing Over,Genetic Crossing-Over
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
