A case of mosaicism involving an unstable 13/14 Robertsonian translocation

Prenat Diagn. 1991 Nov;11(11):875-80. doi: 10.1002/pd.1970111109.

Abstract

Prenatal diagnosis of mosaicism involving an apparently unstable 13/14 Robertsonian translocation is reported. This illustrates the difficulties encountered in counselling when mosaicism is ascertained prenatally. Other reported examples of apparently unstable Robertsonian translocations are discussed.
