Meiotic behaviour of two human reciprocal translocations.

PMCID: PMC1048758  PMID: 7328616

Abstract

The meiotic behaviour of two male human reciprocal translocations is described. One patient had an unbalanced son and a chain configuration. The second had a stillborn child and a ring corresponding to an adjacent I segregation. The meiotic behaviour of chromosomal rearrangements must be investigated for proper genetic counselling.
