## Abstract Complex chromosome rearrangements (CCR) are structural rearrangements that involve more than two breakpoints. The most common ones involve three chromosomes and three breakpoints, but double translocations can also occur. Theoretically, the potential for chromosome imbalance in the game
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by obstruction and chronic infections of the respiratory tract and pancreatic insufficiency. The gene was cloned in 1989 and the most frequent mutation was shown to be the delta F508 mutation. During PGD, embryos obtained in vitro
