The chromosome conditions of a malformed and stillborn piglet are described. The animal was a chromosomal mosaic with two clones, one with the normal chromosome complement and one with a reciprocal translocation. The translocation had taken place between the longest chromosome and one of the smallest metacentric ones. The significance of the mosaicism for the malformation of the animal is discussed.
