The chromosomes involved in this translocation were determined using G GTG and c CBG banding techniques. The chromosomes in question were identified as chromosomes 6 and 15. goat chromosome Robertsonian translocation Resume Etude cytogénétique des boucs d insemination artificielle de races Saanen et Alpine. Mise en evidence d une translocation robertsonienne. L étude cytogénétique de 224 boucs d insemination artificielle de races Saanen et Alpine a permis de mettre en evidence la presence d un animal de race Saanen porteur d une translocation robertson-ienne. Les chromosomes impliqués dans cette translocation ont été determines à I aide des techniques de marquage G GTG et c CBG . Les chromosomes concernés sont le 6 et le 15. caprin chromosome translocation robertsonienne Correspondence and reprints 450 E Guillemot et al INTRODUCTION In domesticated species numerical chromosome aberrations are readily eliminated by natural selection whereas structural abnormalities may give rise to polymorphic systems whose deleterious effects on fertility have been established in cattle Gustavsson 1969 Refsdal 1976 Kovacks and Csulky 1980 . In goats the most widespread structural aberrations are Robertsonian translocations Cribiu and Lherm 1986 . Since these translocations are widespread in the Saanen
