✦ Synopsis
A balanced translocation was found in a normal female with a history of four abortions. On the basis of the Giemsa-banding pattern the abnormality was interpreted as to be a translocation of a part of the long arm of chromosome 13 to the short arm of chromosome some 7:t(7;13)(7qter leads to 7p22::13q14 leads to 13qter;13q14 leads to 13pter::7p22 leads to 7 pter). Problems in genetic counseling are discussed with respect to this case.

A 45,XX,t(22;22)(p11;q11) or 45,XX,i(22q) chromosomal rearrangement was found in a woman with a history of recurrent abortion. A twin sister did not have the translocation even though marker studies indicate that the twins are probably monozygotic.
A large family with a high rate of spontaneous abortions was found also to have a high incidence of a reciprocal translocation.
