A chromosomal inversion is an abnormality where a group of genes in the chromosome has its order reversed. There are two types of chromosomal inversions a paracentric inversion and a pericentric inversion. A paracentric inversion is where the inversion of the genes takes place but does not include the centromere of the chromosome. Whereas in a pericentric inversion the group of genes reversed does include the centromere [1].
