title: Translocation (14;21)(q11;q22) in a woman with history of abortions and a child with Down's syndrome.
abstract: A translocation (14;21)(q11;q22) was observed in a woman with history of abortions and in her child with Down's syndrome. This appears to be the first report of such a translocation with no centric fusion between the acrocentric chromosomes leading to a count of 45 chromosomes in the carrier and giving birth to a Down's syndrome child.
