## Abstract We report on a newborn girl with duplication of 18q12.2→18qter and deficiency of 18p11.2→18pter which resulted from meiotic recombination of the maternal pericentric inversion, inv(18) (p11,2q12.2). Her clinical manifestations were compatible with those of partial trisomy 18q syndrome.

✦ Synopsis
A structural X chromosome abnormality was found in the karyotype of a tall patient with gonadal dysgenesis and with no extragenital anomalies. Based on her mother's karyotype, which showed a pericentric inversion of the X chromosome: 46,X,inv(X)(p22q24), as well as from G and R banding, we concluded that the abnormal X chromosome of our patient was a recombinant chromosome that had originated as a result of one crossing over in the inversion loop during gametogenesis in her mother. The recombinant X chromosome had a partial delection of Xq and a partial duplication of Xp: 46,X,rec(S),dup p,inv(X)(p22q24). After BUDR incorporation, the abnormal X chromosome of the patient and that of her mother showed a late replication. The karyotype-phenotype correlation and the nonrandom inactivation of the inverted X chromosome in the mother are discussed.

Amniocentesis on a 32-year-old woman at risk for trisomy 21 by maternal serum triple screen showed a 46,Y,inv(X) (p22.1q24) karyotype in all cells analyzed. A blood sample was obtained from the mother for cytogenetic evaluation. Since she had the same inversion, DNA replication studies were performe
