Abstract excerpt
Reciprocal chromosomal translocations (RCT) have long been recognized as important etiological factors in reproductive failure. In the present study, the meiotic segregation patterns of the spermatozoa of two related t(4;5)(p15.1;p12) carriers (proband and his father) were compared to the empirical data from a three-generation pedigree for risk assessment. Cytogenetic analysis of the metaphase chromosomes was...
