Structural variations in the pericentromeric region of chromosome 1 are considered the norm. We characterized a chromosome 1 with an inversion by FISH-technique and suggested that the origin of pericentromeric heteromorphism is far more complex than previously suggested. It is postulated that similar to the centromeric alphoid DNA sequences of chromosome 9, chromosome 1 also possesses a "breakage prone" centromeric domain which may be a possible cause of such inversions involving the secondary constriction region.

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.
