The pairing behaviour of pachytene chromosomes was studied in men carr
ier of Robertsonian and reciprocal translocations, by analysis of syna
ptonemal complexes at the electron microscopy level, The human meiotic
data were collected from European laboratories in order to test the c
urrent theories and to link the spermatogenic breakdown, and the pregn
ancy wastage to the mode of pairing and their consequences.
