Figure 1 Partial ideogram showing the translocation between the long arm of the Y chromosome and the long arm of chromosome 13. The arrow by the normal chromosome 13 indicates the position of the break point; this individual does not have a normal Y chromosome. Red, green, aqua, and white bands show the position and color of the fluorescence in situ hybridization probes used for preimplantation genetic diagnosis.

Figure 2 Possible viable outcomes of t(Y;13). (A) carrier male; (B) normal female; (C) carrier male with Klinefelter syndrome; (D) Turner syndrome female; (E) carrier male with trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome); (F) male with trisomy for the translocated segment of chromosome 13 and nullisomy for the translocated segment of the Y chromosome.

Figure 3 Fluorescence in situ hybridization of (A) metaphase spread and (B) interphase nucleus from the translocation carrier. Probes used: RB-1 (13q14, LSI 13, SpectrumGreen; Abbott); D13S1825 (13q34, TEL 13q, TexasRed; Cytocell); DXZ1 (Xcen alphasatellite, SpectrumAqua; Abbott); and DYZ1 (Yq12 satellite III, biotin [pseudocolored white]; Oncor).
