Abstract
Human sperm chromosomes were studied in a man heterozygous for a paracentric inversion of chromosome 7 (q11q22). The pronuclear chromosomes were analysed after in vitro penetration of golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) eggs. Ninety-four sperm chromosome spreads were examined, of which 34 contained the normal number 7 chromosome and 59 the inverted 6. This segregation was significantly different from the expected 1:1 ratio. The number of X- to Y-bearing sperm was 48 and 46 respectively. No sperm contained a recombinant chromosome caused by a crossover within the inversion. The frequency of chromosomal abnormalities in other chromosomes was 9.6%, which is not significantly different from the frequency observed in normal donors (8.9%) in our laboratory. These result suggest that the risk of chromosomally unbalanced sperm is not high for this paracentric inversion.Keywords
