Inversion in the X chromosome 46,X,inv(X)9p21.2?q22.3. One of this pair of human X chromosomes contains a segment that has been broken off then rejoined the opposite way round.

Paracentric inversion 46,XY,inv(5)(q13q15). This male has a chromosomal disorder. Part of one of the arms of chromosome 5 has broken off and rejoined the opposite way round.

Paracentric chromosome inversion

Trisomy 18 syndrome (formerly Edward's syndrome) karyotype, 47,XY,+18 This human male has a normal chromosome complement, plus an extra chromosome 18. Symptoms include growth failure, mental retardation, hypertonicity, rocker-bottom flatfoot, flexion defomities of the fingers, and renal and cardiac anomalies. Sufferers seldom survive beyond six months. The syndrome is associated with advanced maternal age.

Balanced reciprocal translocation 46,XY,t(2;5). This male has a chromosomal disorder. A chromosome 2 and a chromosome 5 have exchanged segments. The cell still contains a complete complement of
