Furthermore, our characterization of this rare DNA rearrangement revealed a more common result of the mispairing of these large inverted repeats--recombination contained within the inverted repeats leading to the maintenance of repeat sequence homogeneity and inversion of the 48-kb FLN1/emerin region.     ///    "Flanking this 48-kb FLN1/emerin region are two large inverted repeats, each 11.3 kb, that exhibit > 99% sequence identity.
