All the rearrangements were highlighted using GTG banding techniques. Chromosome painting experiments were also carried out to confirm the proposed hypotheses and to accurately locate the breakpoints. Three translocations rcp 4 6 q21 p14 rcp 2 6 p17 q27 andrcp 5 17 p12 q13 were found in boars siring small litters and piglets born alive per litter on average for translocations 2 6 and 5 17 respectively . The remaining five rcp 5 8 p12 q21 rcp 15 17 q24 q21 rcp 7 8 q24 p21 rcp 5 8 p11 p23 and rcp 3 15 q27 q13 were identified in young boars controlled before entering reproduction. A decrease in prolificacy of 22 was estimated for the 3 15 translocation after reproduction of the boar carrier. A parental origin by inheritance of the translocation was established for the 5 8 p11 p23 translocation. The overall incidence of reciprocal translocations in the French pig populations over the 2000 2001 period was estimated . chromosome reciprocal translocation pig reproductive performance chromosome painting Correspondence and reprints E-mail 390 A.
