Abstract

A patient with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) had an apparently balanced reciprocal translocation involving chromosomes 13 and 16 [t(13;16)(ql4.11;q24)]. The patient's father has the same chromosomal translocation with no apparent physical abnormalities. The role of the chromosomal translocation in this patient is discussed.
