title: Pericentric inversion with a minute deletion of the Y chromosome in a severely oligozoospermic man.
abstract: An apparent pericentric inversion of the Y chromosome in a severely oligozoospermic infertile patient is described. The karyotype was 46,X,inv (Y) (p11.2 q11.23). DNA analysis, however, revealed a deletion involving nine loci within the most distal part of the euchromatic region of the long arm.
