Sperm chromosome complements were studied in three men who carried reciprocal translocations. A total of 400 sperm were karyotyped after in vitro penetration of hamster eggs: 217 sperm from t(2;9) (q21;p22), 164 from t(4;6)(q28;p23) and 19 from t(7;14) (q21;q13). All possible 2:2 and 3:1 meiotic segregations were observed for t(2;9) and t(4;6); for t(7;14) only 2:2 segregations were observed. For alternate segregations, the number of normal sperm was not significantly different from the number of sperm carrying a balanced form of the translocation in any of the translocations, as theoretically expected. The percentage of sperm with an unbalanced form of the translocation was 57% for t(2;9), 54% for t(4;6) and 47% for t(7;14). There was no evidence for an interchromosomal effect in any of the translocations since the frequencies of numerical abnormalities (unrelated to the translocation) were within the normal range of control donors. The frequencies of X- and Y-bearing sperm did not differ significantly from 50%. Results from a total of 17 reciprocal translocations studied by sperm chromosomal analysis were reviewed.
