    Resum

    A sperm chromosome analysis of 24 men with normal or balanced karyotypes was carried out to study the frequency of sperm chromosome aneuploidy. A total of 3,446 human sperm complements (36-315 per donor) was analyzed after in vitro penetration of hamster eggs. Two sets of donors were studied at two different centers in the United States (center 1) and Spain (center 2). The frequencies of hyperhaploidy and hypohaploidy in control donors were similar between center 1 (1.9% vs. 7.7%) and center 2 (1.8% vs. 10.3%). In carrier donors there were no significant differences between the two centers in the frequency of hyperhaploidy (0.8 % vs. 1.9 %), but that of hypohaploidy was significantly higher in center 2 (11.0%) than in center 1 (4.6%). A significant excess of hypohaploid complements, as compared to hyperhaploid complements, was found in both centers in both control and carrier donors. The sex ratio was similar in both centers and did not differ significantly from a 1:1 sex ratio. The larger chromosomes in the complement (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 10) presented a significantly lower frequency of hypohaploidy, while some of the smaller chromosomes (13, 19, and 21) showed a higher frequency of hypohaploidy than expected. Chromosome 21 and the sex chromosomes showed an increase in the percentage of hyperhaploidy, as compared to other chromosomes, that was close to statistical significance (P = 0.08). Our results reflect a preferential loss of small chromosomes during slide preparation and suggest that chromosome 21 and the sex chromosomes could be more frequently involved in aneuploidy. © 1996 S.
