Aim of this page

1. collect all cases of constitutional breakpoints in infertile and mentally retarded from Jena lab since 1998.
2. find out about repeatedly showing up breakpoints and iknclude in a seperate webpage.
3. provide data to find clusters of breakpoints in the human genome.

For inversions see also Human Polymorphic Inversion DataBase

Interestingly, 34 inversions (excluding inversions of chromosome 9 and Y) found in Taiwan were not overlapping with those collected here for Germany / (Middle) Europe apart from inv(2)(p11.2q13), known to evolve due to evolutionary peciluarities of chromosome 2 repeatedly in human population and inv(6)(p21.1q15) - seen in both studies only one time {14}.
How to use this page?

This page is organized like the 'sister-page' on small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC)
- the structure is explained here.

Also take care that the nomenclature here may not always be done exactly acc. to ISCN !!
