Eight semen samples from men with teratozoospermia (T), along with samples from 3 men with normal fertility and 5 samples from men with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) were analyzed for X and Y chromosomal anomalies with the use of fluorescently labeled centromeric probes. This study was undertaken to determine whether patients with abnormal sperm morphology (teratozoospermia) have increased or decreased incidence of a sex chromosomal anomaly. The sex chromosome disomy for the T samples was 0.36% and for the OAT group it was 0.61%, compared with baseline value for the normozoospermia group (0.09%).
