โฆ Synopsis
We describe two families with insertional translocations. In the first, a large family ascertained because of repeated pregnancy loss, the insertional translocation, ins( 1;3)(q32;p13pter), was found to be segregating through three generations. In the second family, ascertained through a proposita with congenital malformations, multiple spontaneous abortions also occurred. The father had an insertional translocation, inv 4(p14,q21,l)ins(7,4)(q32;q21.1 q23). These cases illustrate that recurrent fetal wastage may be caused by insertional translocations and in fact may be the only clinical manifestation of this unusual type of chromosome rearrangement.

We conducted a study to determine the reproductive risk in a couple who were translocation carriers. This couple, who carried balanced reciprocal translocations, experienced habitual abortions. The wife had a karyotype of 46,XX,t(7;13)(pl5.3;ql2.3) and the husband of 46,XY,t(1;7)(pll.l;pll.l). Chrom
