Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To directly study the meiotic segregation of a complex reciprocal translocation (CCR) as well as the occurrence of an interchromosomal effect. DESIGN: In situ sperm fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. SETTING: Department of Cytogenetics and INSERM research center. PATIENT(S): A male carrier of a balanced complex reciprocal translocation t(5;13;14)(q23;q21;q31). INTERVENTION(S): Sperm...
