OBJECTIVE: To analyze an unusual reciprocal X-autosome translocation found in an infertile man with azoospermia. DESIGN: Case report with a review of scientific literature. SETTING: Male infertility clinic, Kobe University Hospital. PATIENT(S): Infertile man with azoospermia but otherwise apparently healthy. INTERVENTION(S): Peripheral blood lymphocytes were obtained for karyotyping, and metaphases were studied by fluorescence in situ hybridization procedure. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Seminal analysis, hormone levels, volume of testis, and pathologic analysis of testis were performed. RESULT(S): The semen analysis revealed azoospermia. The lymphocytic karyotype showed a man with X-autosome translocations. Histopathologic examination of the sample showed maturation arrest. CONCLUSION(S): This is the first clinical report of azoospermia with reciprocal X-autosome 11 translocations. This translocation may be a direct genetic risk factor for maturation arrest. |
