Proposed criteria for flagging a potential chromosomal rearrangement.

1) Reciprocal translocations Predictive value
 A terminal, segmental imbalance in ≥2 embryos, involving the same chromosome and the same breakpoint 97% (n = 33)
2) Rob(13;14) translocation
 Three or more embryos with complete aneuploidy of chr13 or chr14 with ≥50% of the cohort affected 100% (n = 3)
3) Inversions
 Two or more embryos with characteristic inversion “stair” pattern in any cohort size 100% (n = 2)

Note: These criteria are proposed to be applied to the results of a preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy cohort to determine the likelihood of a balanced rearrangement in the egg or sperm source. If cases meet the criteria, it is recommended to perform high-resolution karyotyping, followed by FISH analysis in the case of a possible cryptic translocation. The clinical history of the reproductive couple should also be taken into consideration.
