To achieve complete synapsis and recombination during meiosis, the pairing of normal and inverted chromosomes requires the formation of an inversion loop. A crossover within this inversion loop leads to the production of two complementary recombinant chromosomes, which may contain both duplicated and deleted segments, including regions distal to the inversion. The clinical relevance of inverted chromosomes is significant, as they can result in the generation of recombinant gametes that may lead to early miscarriages, stillbirths, or congenital abnormalities in the progeny of carriers. The empirical frequencies of recombinant spermatozoa in men heterozygous for inv(19)(p13.3q12) were estimated.

Since the early 1980s, Prof. Oxana Kolomiets has been studying meiosis in various species, including mole voles Ellobius, with a focus on chromosome synapsis and other key events during prophase I. Research on hybrids from different chromosomal forms of mole voles has uncovered notable differences in how meiosis progresses and its impact on fertility. In cases where Robertsonian translocations exhibit incomplete homology, various chromosomal multivalents form during prophase I. These configurations are often so complex that the chance of producing balanced gametes appears minimal. Moreover, there were also variations in the formation of trivalents. These discrepancies are thought to arise due to the involvement of distinct chromosomes in Robertsonian translocations, which lead to alterations in the spatial structure of the nucleus. Autosomes and sex chromosomes can exhibit disparities in trajectories of movement, synapsis, and recombination in meiosis. These disparities manifest most distinctly in hybrids, where atypical interchromosomal interactions, including those between sex chromosomes and autosomes, occur.

We consider both simple heterozygotes which form trivalent configurations at meiosis I and complex heterozygotes which form longer configurations due to heterozygosity for different chromosomes with monobrachial homology. Two species have a particularly wide variety of Rb heterozygotes and have been well studied: the house mouse (the western subspecies) and the common shrew. The overall data confirm that heterozygosity for a single Rb metacentric may be associated with near-normal fertility in mammals, though not in every instance. Usually infertility is not going to be a substantial hindrance to fixation of Rb fusions or fissions. Nor is infertility in simple heterozygotes for one or a few Rb metacentrics on its own likely to promote reproductive isolation. However, simple heterozygotes forming many meiotic trivalents and complex heterozygotes forming long meiotic configurations may suffer substantial infertility or sterility.
