Pericentric inversions (PIs) are structural chromosomal abnormalities, potentially associated with infertility or multiple miscarriages. More rarely, at meiosis, odd numbers of genetic recombinations within the inversion loop produce recombinant gametes which may lead to aneusomy of recombination in the offspring.
