Robertsonian t(Dq;Dq) translocations in man.
A study of the chromosomes of 32,930 patients, karyotyped in the period 1966-1981 in the Division of Human Genetics of the Catholic University, Leuven, Belgium, revealed 71 D/D translocation carriers (33 males and 38 females). The origin of D/D Robertsonian translocations, reproductive failures in male and female carriers and stability of translocated chromosomes are discussed.
