โœฆ Synopsis

A woman was found to have 42 autosomes due to engagement of both chromosomes 14 in Robertsonian rearrangements, one with a chromosome 21 and the other with a chromosome 22: t(14q21q) and t(14q22q). The two translocations appear monocentric and by silver staining have no rRNA activity. The t(14q21q) translocation is familial and was ascertained through a nephew with Down syndrome, while the origin of the t(14q22q) translocation was not established. In addition to these two translocations, the woman had XX/XXX sex chromosome mosaicism. She has had two recognized pregnancies, each resulting in the birth of a child with one of the two translocations. Both children are phenotypically normal, as is their mother, the first normal liveborn individual identified with two Robertsonian translocations.

## Abstract Robertsonian translocations (RTs) are amongst the most common chromosome abnormalities, but being essentially balanced are not usually associated with phenotypic abnormality. Despite being dicentric, RTs are almost always transmitted stably through cell division without chromosome break

We present a prenatal diagnosis of a de novo homologous Robertsonian translocation involving both chromosomes 15. Amniocentesis was performed on a 36-year-old woman at 16.5 weeks of gestation. Chromosome analysis documented a 45,XX,der(15;15) (q10;q10) chromosome pattern. No evidence of a deletion w

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
