Sperm chromosome studies have been performed in 70 normal males. The incidence of aneuploidy in this group is approximately 3-4%, and that of structural anomalies close to 5%. In carriers of reciprocal or Robertsonian translocations, the results are extremely variable, with percentages of unbalanced sperm from 8 to 87%. No unbalanced spermatozoa have been observed in patients with pericentric or paracentric inversions. In cancer patients treated with radio and/or chemotherapy, the incidence of chromosome abnormalities is much higher, and significantly different from that found in controls.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007446 Chromosome Inversion An aberration in which a chromosomal segment is deleted and reinserted in the same place but turned 180 degrees from its original orientation, so that the gene sequence for the segment is reversed with respect to that of the rest of the chromosome. Inversion, Chromosome,Inversion, Chromosomal,Chromosomal Inversion,Chromosomal Inversions,Chromosome Inversions,Inversions, Chromosomal,Inversions, Chromosome
D008297 Male Males
D002869 Chromosome Aberrations Abnormal number or structure of chromosomes. Chromosome aberrations may result in CHROMOSOME DISORDERS.

D002877 Chromosomes, Human Very long DNA molecules and associated proteins, HISTONES, and non-histone chromosomal proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE). Normally 46 chromosomes, including two sex chromosomes are found in the nucleus of human cells. They carry the hereditary information of the individual.

D000782 Aneuploidy The chromosomal constitution of cells which deviate from the normal by the addition or subtraction of CHROMOSOMES, chromosome pairs, or chromosome fragments. In a normally diploid cell (DIPLOIDY) the loss of a chromosome pair is termed nullisomy (symbol: 2N-2), the loss of a single chromosome is MONOSOMY (symbol: 2N-1), the addition of a chromosome pair is tetrasomy (symbol: 2N+2), the addition of a single chromosome is TRISOMY (symbol: 2N+1).

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.
