Cytogenetic analysis of 78 spermatozoa from a man heterozygous for a t(13;14) Robertsonian translocation was performed. R banding was applied for chromosomal identification. Incidence of normal and balanced complements were respectively 50% and 41.3%. Six unbalanced complements (7.7%) were observed,

β¦ Synopsis
A Robertsonian translocation 45,XY, t(13q;14q) was detected in the leukocyte cultures of a phenotypically normal male. Silver staining technique for nucleolus organizer regions revealed that both acrocentrics involved in the translocation had lost their nucleolus organizers.

Pachytene analysis was undertaken in a male patient heterozygous for a 14q22q Robertsonian translocation. The relatively low rate of XY autosome association led us to examine the relationships existing between the chromosomes involved in the translocation, the rate of XY-autosome association and the
## Abstract Cytogenetic studies of a rhabdomyosarcoma of mixed embryonal and alveolar histology in an II βmonthβold male revealed a single structural abnormality, t(1;13)(p36;q14). This abnormality may define a subset of patients with a variant of the t(2;13)(q35;q14) translocation frequently seen
