Double balanced translocations are particularly rare and the risk of a fetus with an unbalanced chromosomal anomaly is greater than for single translocation carriers. In this present case, we describe an interesting family history which included three generations. A couple, married for 4 years, was referred to the genetic clinic due to infertility and family chromosome anomalies. A GTG-band chromosome analysis indicated that the male partner's karyotype was 45,XY, t(3;18)(q11;ptel)t(13;14)(q10;q10). The same double balanced translocation was found in two others family members.
双平衡易位极为罕见,胎儿出现染色体不平衡异常的风险高于单易位携带者。在本病例中,我们描述了一个有趣的三代家族史。一对结婚4年的夫妇因不孕和家族染色体异常被转诊至遗传门诊。GTG带染色体分析表明,男性伴侣的核型为45,XY,t(3;18)(q11;ptel)t(13;14)(q10;q10)。另外两名家族成员也发现了相同的双平衡易位。
