Human translocation carriers may present alterations in meiosis. Understanding the mechanism of meiotic segregation of reciprocal translocations is important for estimation of the risk of either pregnancy loss or birth defects. The objective of this work was to estimate meiotic segregation rates in preimplantation embryos from preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) cycles of female and male reciprocal translocation carriers.
