Abstract
The present study was carried out in order to assess the genetic component in a group of sterile or infertile couples from latino-american population. During a six-year-period, 258 patients were investigated. Sixty two percent of the cases were studied for sterility and 38% for infertility. It was found that 34% had genetic pathology. In infertile couples the frequency of chromosome abnormalities was 2.8%; when sterility was also considered this frequency was 11.6%. Chromosome variants were found in 11.4% of the sterile patients and in 8.8% of the infertile cases.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
