Summary

a 22/22 Robertsonian translocation has been identified in a woman with recurrent abortions by a Giemsa banding technique. Cytogenetic studies of the embryonic tissue derived from one of her spontaneous abortions have demonstrated that the aborted fetus had a 46,XX,-22,+t(22q22q) karyotype.
