Pseudodicentric Chromosome Originating from an X-Autosome Translocation in a Male Patient with Cryptozoospermia

Résumé

Genetic factors are responsible for 15% of male infertility conditions. Numerical and structural chromosomal anomalies are validated genetic factors leading to spermatogenic quantitative defects, with a frequency depending on the severity of the phenotype. Among the structural chromosomal rearrangements, dicentric chromosomes are generally observed in robertsonian translocations or in cases of Y chromosome isodicentrics. In X-autosome translocations, male carriers are generally infertile, regardless of the position of the breakpoint, due to interrupted spermatogenesis. We report an infertile man bearing an unusual balanced (X;22) translocation, with a centromeric X breakpoint generating a derivative pseudodicentric chromosome psu dic(22;X). Extensive cytogenetic analyses were necessary to determine the precise nature of the derivative chromosome. The likely cause of the reproductive phenotype of the patient is discussed based on meiotic chromosomal conformation.
