Complex balanced chromosomal translocation t(2;5;13) (p21;p15;q22) in a woman with four reproductive failures.

Background Balanced complex translocations (BCTs) are rare events, they may result in reproductive failures: spontaneous abortions, missed abortions, stillbirths, congenital malformations in children, and male infertility. BCTs belong to the group of complex chromosome rearrangements (CCRs) – up to date about 260 cases were described.
