Abstract
Amniocentesis and prenatal chromosome analysis were performed for advanced maternal age. The fetus was male with a paracentric inversion in the long arm of the X chromosome. The mother and a brother also carried the inversion. The pregnancy continued to term and the infant is developing normally at one year of age.
