The comparison of male and female meiotic segregation patterns for individuals carrying identical reciprocal translocations has been rarely reported in mammalian species. The main comparative study involving males and females with comparable genetic background has been performed in the mouse. Swine is another relevant animal model species for meiotic studies. Here we present the segregation patterns determined for sows carrying one of the two following reciprocal translocations: 38, XX, rcp(3;15)(q27;q13), and 38, XX, rcp(12;14)(q13;q21). These segregation data were compared to those previously obtained for closely related boars carrying the same balanced chromosomal rearrangements.
