Inter-chromosomal Effect in a Robertsonian Translocation (13;14) Carrier with a Child Affected by Down Syndrome: A Case Report
Background: Although the balanced carriers of Robertsonian translocations (ROBs) typically exhibit normal phenotypes, they may experience recurrent abortions or have offspring with chromosomal disorders. A proposed mechanism is the inter-chromosomal effect (ICE), where disrupted meiotic segregation may increase aneuplo...
