| Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for a Robertsonian translocation was carried out in a young couple with 2 missed abortions. The wife had a karyotype of 45,XX,rob(13;14)(q10;q10). One normal embryo was obtained in the first cycle and transferred at the blastocyst stage, resulting in a successful pregnancy. This is the first reported case of PGD for a translocation from India, resulting in an ongoing pregnancy. |
