RITTER Research Centre of Animal Production Dummerstorf-Rostock 2551 Dummerstorf German Democratic Republic Summary A cytogenetic survey was carried out on fattening male and female pigs of different lines in a local herd and on . boars of German Democratic Republic. In 5 of 66 fattening animals and 4 of 461 . boars analysed a Robertsonian translocation was observed. The translocation was identified as a 13 17 fusion translocation by the G-banding technique. These animals were translocation heterozygotes with 2n 37 XX or XY t 13 q 17q . The results obtained are discussed. Key words Fusion translocation swine. Resume Une translocation Robertsonienne chez le pore domestique Une étude cytogénétique a été réalisée en République Démocratique Allemande sur des pores males et femelies à 1 engraissement appartenant à differentes lignées et sur des verrats d insémina-tion artificielle. Une translocation Robertsonienne a été mise en évidence chez 5 des 66 animaux à 1 engraissement et chez 4 des 461 verrats d insemination artificielle. Cette translocation a été identifiee par la methode des bandes G comme une translocation de type fusion 13 17. Les animaux étaient porteurs d une translocation à 1 état heterozygote avec 2n 37 XX OU XY t 13q 17q . Les résultats obtenus sont discutés. Mots clés Translocation Robertsonienne pore. I. Introduction Robertsonian translocations are distributed widely in cattle. This type of chromosome aberration was first reported as the 1 29 translocation which resulted from a centric fusion between the largest and the smallest autosomes in the Swedish Red and White cattle Gustavsson Rockborn 1964 . Since then the same or other types of Robertsonian translocation have been found in many cattle breeds. In contrast in swine 368 M. SCHWERIN D. GOLISCH E.
