Popis: In 1964, Gustavsson and Rockborn first described the 1/29 Robertsonian translocation in cattle. Since then, several studies have demonstrated the negative effect of this particular chromosomal rearrangement on the fertility of carrier animals. During the last decade, meiotic segregation patterns have been studied on human males carrying balanced translocations using FISH on decondensed sperm nuclei. In this work, we have applied the ‘Sperm-FISH’ technique to determine the chromosomal content of spermatozoa from two bulls heterozygous for the 1/29 translocation and one normal bull (control). 5425 and 2702 sperm nuclei were scored, respectively, for the two heterozygous bulls, using whole chromosome painting probes of chromosomes 1 and 29. Very similar proportions of normal (or balanced) spermatozoa resulting from alternate segregation were observed (97.42% and 96.78%). For both heterozygous bulls, the proportions of nullisomic and disomic spermatozoa did not follow the theoretical 1:1 ratio. Indeed, proportions of nullisomic spermatozoa were higher than those of disomic sperma tozoa (1.40% vs 0.09% (bull 1) and 1.29% vs 0.15% (bull 2) for BTA1, and 0.65% vs 0.40% (bull 1) and 1.11% vs 0.63% (bull 2) for BTA29). The average frequencies of disomic and diploid spermatozoa in the normal bull were 0.11% and 0.05%, respectively.
