Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of regular unprotected intercourse. Constitutional numerical and/or structural chromosomal aberrations like sex-chromosome aberrations are one of the possible factors involved in fertility problems. Reciprocal translocations between an X-chromosome and an autosome are rarely seen in men. Male carriers of an X-autosome translocation are invariably sterile, regardless of the position of the breakpoint in the X-chromosome. Breakpoints in autosomal chromosomes could also be involved in male infertility. In this paper, we describe a 31-year-old male with azoospermia. GTG banding with high resolution multicolor-banding (MCB) techniques revealed a karyotype 46,Y,t(X;1)(p22.3;q25), and we discuss how the breakpoint of this translocation could affect male infertility. As a conclusion, cytogenetic evaluation of infertile subjects with azoospermia should be considered in the first place before in vitro fertilisation procedures are planned.
