Clin Case Rep. 2023 Dec 13;11(12):e8315. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8315. eCollection 2023 Dec.

Abstract

Balanced reciprocal chromosomal translocation carriers will have greater risk to experience recurrent miscarriages, embryonic death, and infertility. We show the pedigree carrying a paternal karyotype which was reported first. This research helps to better understand the clinical manifestations and prognosis of patients with this rare chromosomal abnormality.
