Sperm chromosome studies were performed in seven males. One of them had a history of exposure to lysergic acid (LSD) although he was free of the drug for 1 year before the study began. Sixteen ejaculates provided a total of 555 fully analyzable sperm cells. The overall frequency of hyperhaploid sperm cells was 2% and that of structural abnormality 3.6%. The most common structural abnormality was chromosome breaks followed by small chromosome fragments of unknown origin. Three chromosome breakpoints, 10q25, 2q21, and 9q21, were involved twice in different chromosome or chromatid type aberrations. Two of these, 10q25 and 2q21, correspond to chromosomal locations known as common fragile sites. |
