In the rare circumstance in which neither one of the parents is a balanced translocation carrier, there are commercially available FISH probes for the 22q11.2 deletion and also for the telomere of 11q which can identify the supernumerary chromosome in the karyotype as being derived from chromosomes 11 and 22.

A balanced reciprocal translocation is an exchange of material between two nonhomologous chromosomes, without loss or gain of material and balanced translocation carriers are usually healthy and phenotypically normal.

Because translocation carriers are, theoretically, at high risk of transmission of an unbalanced segregant to the blastomere, as many as 10 blastomeres will often be screened until one or two are deemed normal for the FISH probes in question.
