Abstract
The great similarities between pericentric inversions observed in human pathology, having occurred during evolution, or induced by radiation of human cells, indicate that they do not occur at random. About 1/3-1/4 of these chromosomal rearrangements are capable of inducing abnormal progeny after aneusomy of recombination during meiosis.
