title: Infertility in a man with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia associated with nonrobertsonian translocation t(9;15)(p10;q10).
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze an unusual nonrobertsonian translocation t(9;15)(p10;q10) found in an infertile man with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia who had a normal phenotype.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report with a review of scientific literature.
  
  
  METHODS
  Academic research environment.
  
  
  METHODS
  Infertile man with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia but otherwise apparently healthy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Peripheral blood lymphocytes were obtained for karyotyping, and metaphases were studied by the GBG fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) procedure.
  
  
  METHODS
  Physical examination, semen analysis, GBG banding, and FISH procedure.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The semen analysis revealed oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. The lymphocytic karyotype detected a translocation t(9;15)(p10;q10), and FISH procedure showed that the derived chromosome had a chromosome 15 centromere.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The association of unusual translocation with male factor infertility was described. To our knowledge no such association has been described previously in men whose clinical manifestation is only infertility.
