Abstract
We describe the first case of a supernumerary inv dup(22)(q11.1) in an infertile male with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. This case supports the opinion that supernumerary inv dup(22)(q11.1) could play a role in male infertility. We suggest that the breakpoint in the region 22q11.1 and/or fourfold dosage of centromeric/pericentromeric sequences of the chromosome 22 may be the cause of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism resulting in impaired spermatogenesis and infertility in our patient.Entities:
