Abstract

A woman balanced carrier of a X/15 translocation gave birth to a balanced infertile son and three unbalanced Xp--fertile daughters. This family and the other eleven cases of Xp--fertile women found in the literature demonstrate that loss of the p21 leads to pter region of the X chromosome is compatible with fertility, probably because it leaves on Xp the region which is never inactivated.
