A Rare De novo Complex Chromosomal Rearrangement (CCR) Involving Four Chromosomes in An Oligo-asthenosperm Infertile Man
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCRs) are rare events involving more than two chromosomes and over two breakpoints. They are usually associated with infertility or sub fertility in male carriers. Here we report a novel case of a CCR in a 30-year-old oligoasthenosperm man with a history of varicocelectomy, normal testes size and normal endocrinology profile referred for chromosome analysis to the Genetics unit of Royan Reproductive Biomedicine Research Center. Chromosomal analysis was performed using peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures and analyzed by GTG banding. Additional tests such as C-banding and multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) procedure for each of the involved chromosomes were performed to determine the patterns of the segregations. Y chromosome microdeletions in the azoospermia factor (AZF) region were analyzed with multiplex polymerase chain reaction. To identify the history and origin of this CCR, all the family members were analyzed. No micro deletion in Y chromosome was detected. The same de novo reciprocal exchange was also found in his monozygous twin brother. The other siblings and parents were normal. CCRs are associated with male infertility as a result of spermatogenic disruption due to complex meiotic configurations and the production of chromosomally abnormal sperms. These chromosomal rearrangements might have an influence on decreasing the number of sperms.

Complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCRs) are rare structural rearrangements involving three or more chromosomes. Balanced CCRs are often seen in phenotypically normal females who may later present with fertility problems. We report a 25-year old female with an adverse obstetric history and a de novo CCR involving chromosomes 7, 13 and 15 detected after GTG-banding. The de novo origin was confi...

BACKGROUND Complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCRs) describe structural rearrangements, essentially translocations, involving at least three breakpoints on two or more chromosomes. Although they are rare in humans, their clinical identification is important since CCR carriers can display various phenotypes which include phenotypically normal subjects, infertile males and patients with mental r...

Dear Editor, Complex chromosome rearrangements (CCRs) are structural aberrations involving at least three chromosomes with three or more chromosomal breakpoints. CCRs are very rare events in the human population. As reviewed by Pellestor et al.,1 less than 255 cases of CCRs involving three or more chromosomes have been reported. In China, approximately 136 cases of CCRs, including 40 males with...
