title: Decreased XY recombination and disturbed meiotic prophase I progression in an infertile 48, XYY, +sSMC man.
abstract: Small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMCs) are structurally abnormal rare chromosomes, difficult to characterize by karyotyping, and have been associated with minor dysmorphic features, azoospermia, and recurrent miscarriages. However, sSMC with a gonosomal trisomy has never been reported. Spermatocyte spreading and immunostaining were applied to detect meiotic prophase I progression, homologous chromosome pairing, synapsis, and recombination. In all the analyzed spermatocytes of the patient, the extra Y chromosome was not detected while the sSMC was present. The recombination frequency on autosomes was not affected, while the recombination frequencies on XY chromosome was significantly lower in the patient than in the controls. The meiotic prophase I progression was disturbed with significantly increased proportion of zygotene and decreased pachytene spermatocytes in the patients as compared with the controls. These findings highlight the importance of studies on meiotic behaviors in patients with an abnormal chromosomal constitution and provide an important framework for future studies, which may elucidate the impairment caused by sSMC in mammalian meiosis and fertility.
