Abstract
Background The present case study offers chromosomal abnormalities in a patient attending assisted reproduction programs. Materials and Methods Cytogenetic analysis was performed according to standard methods on cultured cells obtained from the patient with low sperm quality in respect of morphology and motility. The patients were interviewed about their histories and their reproductive problems, family background, and possible consanguinity. Results Chromosomal abnormality was observed in autosomal chromosomes 1 and 22. The female karyotype showed 46, XX and the male karyotype showed t(1;21)(1q32;q22). Conclusion We observe a chromosomal abnormality in a male with low sperm quality. Chromosomal abnormalities could be one of the causes of male infertility. Consequently, Genetic testing and counseling is indicated for infertile men with abnormal semen parameters with either abnormal karyotype or normal karyotype before applying assisted reproductive techniques.
