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
## Abstract We report an unusual case of a familial complex chromosome rearrangement (CCR), ascertained through prenatal diagnosis. The fetus carried an apparently balanced CCR with a recombinant 3βsegment chromosome derived from two paternal reciprocal translocations involving both homologs of chr
