“…There may be mutations in specific genes, like azoospermia factor ( AZF ) or cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator ( CFTR ) [Manvelyan et al, 2008;Wosnitzer et al, 2014;Röpke and Tüttelmann, 2017;Colaco and Modi, 2018;Vander Borght and Wyns, 2018]. Still, fertility may be impaired as well by (a) numerical chromosomal alterations, like (mosaic) trisomy or monosomy of (one of) the gonosomes [Mau-Holzmann, 2005;Manvelyan et al, 2007;Wosnitzer et al, 2014;Neto et al, 2016], (b) structural chromosomal abnormalities, like balanced rearrangements (translocations, insertions, inversions or even complex chromosomal rearrangements) [Liehr and Weise, 2007], or (c) a combination of numerical and structural chromosomal alterations, i.e., the presence of a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) [Manvelyan et al, 2008;Liehr, 2014;Armanet et al, 2015].…”
