Abstract: | Chromosomal rearrangements are rare structural abnormalities that are usually associated with male infertility or sterility. We describe here the clinical and cytogenetic studies carried out in a couple with repeated abortions. Cytogenetic analysis of the male partner showed a de novo chromosomal translocation t(3;5)(q13;q35) which could be involved in the meiotic errors resulting in reproductive failure. |
