[Cytogenetic study of 30 couples having had several spontaneous abortions].

In 30 couples consulting after two or more failed pregnancies, the authors detected two women with reciprocal translocation in the heterozygous condition: t (5 ; 6) (q 35 ; q 21) in one case. t (5 ; 10) (q 15 ; q 25) in the other case. In both cases, there was, later, birth of a normal boy of karyotype 46, XY. It thus appears obvious that the balanced structural changes which occur in the fertility of these couples, reduces the latter.
