Report of a family case of satellited Y chromosome associated with a severe oligoasthenoteratospermia. A review of the literature.
A new case of familial Yqs is reported. The discovery has been made at the time of karyotyping of a patient with an oligoasthenoteratospermia. A possible correlation between supernumerary NORs of the Yqs chromosome and meiotic disturbances is discussed, and a review of the literature is performed.
