Not para-, not peri-, but centric inversion of chromosome 12.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A Y chromosomal role in prostate cancer has previously been suggested by both cytogenetic findings and patterns of Y chromosomal gene expression. We took advantage of the well established and stable phylogeny of the non-recombining segment of the Y chromosome to investigate the association between Y chromoso...
