Abstract
A cytogenetic study of a patient revealed a pericentric inversion in chromosome 8, and spherocytes in 10% of cells, in a routine blood smear. The critical portion which affected the expression of spherocytosis appeared to be localized at 8p22-8q21. The mother's karyotyping showed the transmission of the inversion to the child.
