Carriers of reciprocal (RCP) and Robertsonian (RT) translocations are known to be at risk for reproductive difficulties. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is one of the options these carriers have to try to fulfill their desire to have a child. The FISH technique is one of the best method to detect RCPs, and, together with the Next Generation Sequencing, to diagnose RTs. The aim of the present study was to assess the usefulness of the FISH method for rapid diagnosis of translocations in our center to improve the reproductive counseling.
