Abstract

In this report we present a family with identified carriers of unique reciprocal translocation t (9; 16) (q31; q13) detected through karyotyping of the patient with irregularity of menstrual cycles. Genetic risk for birth of a child with congenital anomalies was estimated as low (0.6%). However, risk for abortion was high. We suggest introducing cytogenetic studies in such cases.
