Abstract

Introduction: Translocations are the most frequent chromosomal rearrangements.
Objective:
To describe the reciprocal and by centromeric fusion translocations prenatally diagnosed, their origin and the kind of segregation in inherited cases.
Methods:
A descriptive retrospective study was performed at Villa Clara province lab during a 1988-2020 period of time. 56 carriers of balanced translocations fetuses were included whose were diagnosed at the Cytogenetic laboratory.
Results:
56 fetuses with translocations were diagnosed, which the same proportion of cases with reciprocal and by centromeric fusion translocations. The 78,6% of reciprocal translocations were balanced with paternal origin, meanwhile in the centromeric fusion translocations the maternal origin was predominant (60.7%). The alternant segregation was observed in all cases with inherited centromeric fusion translocations and in the 77% of reciprocal translocations, in the remaining 23% adjacent 1 segregation was occurred.
Conclusions:
Reciprocal translocations and by centromeric fusion has a similar frequency, with predominance of the maternal origin in the centromeric fusion translocations and paternal origin in the reciprocal translocations.
