Reciprocal balanced translocation: infertility and recurrent spontaneous abortions in a family

Abstract: In this case report we present a family with infertile, azoospermic but otherwise apparently healthy males with history of recurrent spontaneous abortions (RSA) in females. Karyotype of the infertile man revealed a reciprocal balanced translocation t(8; 13) with breakpoints at 8q22 and 13p11.2. The reported reciprocal balanced translocation is associated with azoospermia. The same translocation is probably the cause of RSA in females of the family.

“…In various leukemia patients, t(9;11) cases with different break points were observed (18,19) . Infertility cases with balanced translocations of different chromosomes were also reported (4,6,11,20) . The common results of these gene was mapped in the 9p21-22 band region which was in the break point of our case (6) .…”

“…Sex chromosome abnormalities are the most common in human chromosomal abnormalities. The rate of sex chromosome abnormality in infertile men is 3.8%, while the abnormality rate of autosomal chromosomes are 1.3% (4) . When infertile males compared to those of normal, the incidence of structural chromosomal abnormalities in men 1-4 times higher (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) .…”

“…Therefore, it is very important to determine the underlying genetic factors in male infertility. Infertility cases associated with balanced translocations formed by different chromosomes such as t (13;19), t (3;5), t (9;11), t (7;16), t (6,12), t (8;13), t (18;21) were reported [5,[10][11][12][13][14]. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature of balanced non-robertsonian reciprocal autosomal translocation t (10;19) (q11.2;q13.4) associated with male infertility.…”

“…The incidence of the most common genetic aneuploidies responsible for male infertility is shown in Table 1. Although chromosome aneuploidies are rare in fertile men (~0.5% in normal population), their incidence in azoospermic individuals varies from 2% to 15% [10,11]. Sex or autosomal chromosome defects, as well as numerical and structural defects are the most common type of chromosomal anomalies that can be seen in infertile subjects.…”

“…Although all chromosomes can be contributed in reciprocal translocations, chromosomes 13 and 14, 13 and 21, and 21 and 22 are the typical targets for this translocation [34]. There are many cases of male infertility due to balanced reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 10 and 15 (q26; q12) [35], 6 and 12 (q23; q24) [36], 8 and 13 (q22; q11.2) [11], 18 and 21 (p11; q21) [37], 9 and 20 (q21.2; p13.3) [38]. In all carriers, these translocations impact on spermatogenesis and consequently cause poor quality of sperm, severe azoospermia and infertility.…”
