Abstract
The risk of producing unbalanced gametes in heterozygous inversion carriers mostly depends on the occurrence of recombination events within the inverted segment. Recombination determines the possibility of producing chromosomes with duplications/deficiencies (pericentric inversions) or with duplications/deficiencies which furthermore appear as dicentric and acentric fragments (paracentric inversions). In this work, a general description of the close relationship between the occurrence of crossovers in pericentric and paracentric inversions and the final segregation outcome is presented. After this introduction, a compilation of inversion segregation data and interchromosomal effect results from previously published sperm studies have been reviewed. Segregation results indicate a great heterogeneity in the percentage of unbalanced gametes, from 0 to 37.38%. The size of the inverted segments and their proportion in the chromosome are two parameters closely related with the incidence of recombination (P < 0.0001; using a quadratic model and Pearson’s correlation test). These results suggest that the production of a significant level of unbalanced gametes would require a minimum inversion size of 100 Mbp and the inversion of at least 50% of the chromosome. Interchromosomal effects are seldom observed in chromosomal inversions. Finally, implications of the meiotic behavior of the inversions in the progeny of the carriers and the incorporation of sperm FISH segregation analysis for reproductive genetic counseling are discussed.
