Cytogenetic findings are reported obtained from 19 cases of translocation in gynecological and obstetric patients which were recorded from 1055 chromosomal analyses. The translocations are defined in some detail. Of these, 12 were of the Robertson type and 3 unbalanced, while the origin of one de novo 4p + translocation was not elucidated. The breaks in reciprocally balanced translocations were related to various chromosomal sections, but A chromosomes were involved in 4 cases. The relevance of cytogenetic studies into gynecologico-obstetric patients is discussed with reference to the above findings.
