## 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
We describe a complex and unique, de novo apparently balanced translocation involving chromosomes 4, 18, and 21 with 4 breakpoints, in a patient who was referred for an evaluation of possible fragile-X syndrome. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) confirmed the complexity of the rearrangement
