Four familial translocations ascertained through spontaneous abortions
Abstract
In a study of 514 spontaneous abortions, 194 were found to have a chromosome anomaly. Of these, 4 (2.1%) were unbalanced translocations. Three of the translocations were Robertsonian (13q14q) and one was reciprocal. Each translocation was ascertained independently and each was associated with a balanced rearrangement in a carrier parent.
