Abstract
A major chromosomal abnormality was observed in 10.3% of subfertile men in this study. This result is similar to a previous survey using the same criteria for selection of probands. The high frequency of chromosomal abnormalities emphasizes the importance of cytogenetic examination in subfertile men. The detection of such an abnormality should be followed by chromosome analysis in the patient's family. Prenatal diagnosis is indicated if a subfertile man with an abnormal karyotype fathers a child.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
