abstract：:Complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCRs) are rare findings in clinical cytogenetics. As a result of the high risk of unbalanced segregation, familial cases are even rarer and maternal transmission occurs more frequently than paternal transmission. Analogous to Drosophila and mice, as well as to CCRs involving the Y c...
