[Autosomal translocation in gynaecology and obstetrics. 2. Cytogenetic findings (author's transl)].

Reported in this paper are cytogenetic findings obtained from 19 cases of translocation in gynaecological and obstetric patients which had been recorded from 1,055 chromosomal analyses. The translocations are defined in some detail. Twelve of them were of the Robertson type and three unbalanced, while the origin of one "de novo" 4p+ translocation was not elucidated. The breaks in reciprocally balanced translocations were related to various chromosomal sections, but A chromosomes were involved in four cases. The relevance of cytogenetic studies into gynaecologico-obstetric patients is discussed with reference to the above findings.
