With Tony Michelson Growing up, I always knew I wanted to be two things: a nurse and a mom. I hit the first goal at 28 and started focusing on being a mom right away. I knew from birth that I had a Robertsonian translocation. In other words, I am a short chromosome but considered balanced because the missing chromosome contains no information.

They’ve also been found in semen, so the fact that a new study finds them in the testicles isn’t surprising. However, it raises…
