frequently located within the chromosome 15p11-15p13 and Yq11.23-Yq12 regions. These types of translocations are equally found in male and female patients, and carriers of t(Y;15) usually have a normal phenotype [2,4]. We report the prenatal diagnosis of an unbalanced translocation between chromosome Y and chromosome 15 in a female fetus, inherited from a paternal carrier. Molecular cytogenetic methods were used to cytogenetically characterize the der(15) translocation, and family history was helpful in prenatal counseling.
