Meiotic segregation in spermatozoa of a 45,XY,-14,der(18)t(14;18)(q11;p11.3) translocation carrier: a case report.

چکیده
A 35-year-old male was found to have a 45,XY,-14,der(18)t(14;18)(q11;p11.3) karyotype during the investigations for a couple with infertility for 8 years. Two sperm samples were obtained and analysed in triple fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with the D18Z1 and LSI IGH/BCL2 probes. The frequency of gametes exhibiting a normal or balanced chromosomal equipment was 87.26 and 90.97% in samples 1 and 2, respectively. No statistically significant difference was found between the results of meiotic segregation of both samples. These proportions are close to those observed among Robertsonian translocation carriers. They can probably be explained by the formation of trivalent in cis configuration during meiosis I between the derivative chromosome and the normal chromosomes 14 and 18, as in Robertsonian translocation carriers. These results suggest that the configuration adopted at pachytene strongly determines the segregation mode that will be preferentially followed during anaphase I.

Meiotic studies of a human male carrier of the common translocation, t(11;22), suggests postzygotic selection rather than preferential 3:1 MI segregation as the cause of liveborn offspring with an unbalanced translocation.
The t(11;22)(q23;q11) translocation is the only non-Robertsonian rearrangement for which there are a large number of unrelated families, apparently with the same breakpoints. These families most often have been ascertained through an abnormal child with the karyotype 47,XX or XY, +der(22) t(11;22)(q23;q11). To explain the high incidence of 3:1 segregants, rarely seen in offspring of carriers of...
متن کاملFISH analysis of the chromosomal status of spermatozoa from three men with 45,XY,der(13;14)(q10;q10) karyotype.
Meiotic segregation of chromosomes 13 and 14 was studied in the ejaculated spermatozoa of three men carrying a translocation der(13;14)(q10;q10). The spermatozoa of these patients and of a donor with a normal 46,XY karyotype (control) were analysed by two-colour fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) with specific chromosomal painting of chromosomes 13 and 14, by two-colour FISH detecting chr...
متن کاملSegregation of chromosomes in sperm of a t(X;18)(q11;p11.1) carrier inherited from his mother: case report.
Balanced reciprocal translocations are the most common structural abnormalities; most involve two autosomes while a few involve a gonosome (X or Y chromosome) and an autosome. These rearrangements are usually associated with infertility and/or a higher risk of chromosomal imbalances among offspring. This 26 years old man was first seen because of a 3-year history of primary infertility. He had ...
متن کاملA Case Report of a Novel Balanced Reciprocal Translocation t(2;14)(q11;q24) in a Young Woman with Two Pregnancy Losses
Reciprocal chromosome translocations, especially balanced rearrangements are known to be one of the main causes of recurrent miscarriage. In this case report, we performed the clinical and cytogenetic analysis on a young couple with two pregnancy losses. Though the couple had a normal clinical study, the cytogenetic analysis revealed a balanced reciprocal translocation of t(2;14)(q11;q24) where...
متن کاملLack of intraindividual variation of unbalanced spermatozoa frequencies from a 46,XY,t(9;22)(q21;q11.2) carrier: case report.
The meiotic segregation pattern of 83 men carrying a balanced reciprocal translocation between two autosomes has already been published. Nevertheless, the question of intraindividual variations has not been addressed yet. A 32-year-old patient was found to be a carrier of a t(9;22)(q21;q11.2) during the investigations for a couple with infertility for 3 years. Two sperm samples were obtained at...
