Abstract
Three new cases of low chiasma frequency in infertile men are described. In the first case, all cells showed abnormal diakineses; in the second, 20% of the diakineses were desynaptic, while the remaining 80% were normal; in the third, all diakineses were desynaptic and showed chromosome fragmentation. The possible mechanisms leading to asynapsis, desynapsis or precocious chiasma terminalization are discussed.Entities:
