Abstract
Infertility is an important health problem affecting about 15% of couples all over the world. Infertility can occur because of a combined etiology where both female and male factors are combined. In nearly 40% of the patients, the etiology is unclear. Balanced reciprocal translocations are the most common structural chromosomal abnormalities in humans and they are closely related with infertility. Balanced reciprocal translocations mostly do not affect the phenotype of the carriers however, these individuals have a significantly increased risk in terms of chromosomally unstable gametes. The chromosomal region 6p21.3 contains many genes associated with infertility. Translocations involving the 6p21.3 chromosomal region are generally associated with infertility. In this study, the relationship between infertility and t(1;6)(p13p21.3) balanced reciprocal translocation was discussed.
