An inverted duplication with a terminal deletion (inv-dup-del) is one of the complex constitutional structural rearrangements that can occur in a chromosome. Although breakages of dicentric chromosome have been suggested, the precise mechanism of this is yet to be fully understood. In our present study, we investigated the genomic structure of 10 inv-dup-del cases to elucidate this mechanism. Two recurrent 8p inv-dup-del cases harbored a large copy-number-neutral region between the duplication and deletion in common. Although the other non-recurrent cases did not appear to have this copy-number-neutral region, refined sequencing analysis identified that they contained a small intervening region at the junction between the inverted and non-inverted segment. The size of this small intervening region ranged from 1741 to 3728 bp. Combined with a presence of microhomology at the junction, a resolution of the replication fork stalling through template switching within the same replication fork is suggested. We further observed two cases with mosaicism of the dicentric chromosome and various structural rearrangements related to the dicentric chromosome. Refined analysis allowed us to identify different breakpoints on the same chromosome in the same case, implicating multiple rounds of U-type formation and its breakage. From these results, we propose that a replication-based mechanism generates unstable dicentric chromosomes and that their breakage leads to the formation of inv-dup-dels and other related derivative chromosomes.
