Sperm chromosome complements were studied in a man who carried a reciprocal translocation t(12;20)(q24.3;q11). A total of 113 spermatozoa were karyotyped after in-vitro penetration of hamster eggs. 2:2 and 3:1 meiotic segregations were observed with the following frequencies: alternate 47%, adjacent 1 42%, adjacent 2 10%, 3:1 2%. For alternate segregations, the number of normal spermatozoa (25) was not significantly different from the number of spermatozoa carrying a balanced form of the translocation (28), as theoretically expected. The proportion of spermatozoa with an unbalanced form of the translocation was 53%. There was no evidence for an interchromosomal effect since the frequencies of numerical and structural abnormalities (unrelated to the translocation) were within the normal range of control donors.

D013094 Spermatozoa Mature male germ cells derived from SPERMATIDS. As spermatids move toward the lumen of the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, they undergo extensive structural changes including the loss of cytoplasm, condensation of CHROMATIN into the SPERM HEAD, formation of the ACROSOME cap, the SPERM MIDPIECE and the SPERM TAIL that provides motility.
