Resum
Sperm chromosomes were studied in a man who was treated for Wilms' tumor with radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy (CT) 18 years ago. Human pronuclear sperm chromosomes were obtained after penetration of zona-free hamster eggs. Eighty-nine sperm chromosome complements were analyzed; 12.4% of them showed structural anomalies. This percentage was statistically different from the one found in our laboratory for controls (p<0.05). Five of eleven structurally abnormal metaphases had the same aberration: fission of chromosome #1 with the breakpoint at or near the centromere. Breaks and rearrangements of chromosome #1, often involving the centromere region, are among the most frequent anomalies found in Wilms' tumor cells. © 1987.
