Objective: To estimate the incidence of sex chromosome aneuploidies in the somatic cells of karyotypically normal infertile men and fertile donors.Design: A prospective, two-phase, controlled study.Setting: Reproductive medicine and medical genetics units of a teaching hospital.Patient(s): Ten patients with oligozoospermia and 10 sperm donors with proved fertility, all with a normal karyotype 46 XY.Intervention(s): Multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of peripheral blood lymphocytes using a probe cocktail containing the alpha satellites DXZ1 for the X centromere and DYZ1 for the heterochromatic region of the long arm of the Y and the radiolabeled alpha satellite D18Z1 for chromosome is.Main Outcome Measure(s): The incidence of sex chromosome aneuploidies in both groups.Result(s): A 13-fold increase in sex chromosome aneuploidies was observed in the somatic cells of infertile men with "unexplained" oligozoospermia compared to donors (P=.008).Conclusion(s): These findings provide suggestive evidence for the existence of an inherent mitotic instability in men with unexplained obligozoospermia.
