Abstract
A new Robertsonian translocation was found in a cow of the Holstein-Fr iesian breed. GTG-banding allowed us to elucidate the anomaly as a cen tric fusion between chromosomes 19 and 21. CBG-banding demonstrated th at the translocated chromosome was dicentric. Cytogenetic investigatio n of the relatives of the translocated animal revealed two other carri ers.
