Our cytogenetic investigations were carried out on 200 people with difficulties in reproduction consisting of 30 couples who were sterile and 70 couples who had spontaneous abortions. The following chromosome abnormalities were found: trisomy XXY, translocations of type 13:14, pericentric inversions of chromosome 9, translocation X:9 (q24:q34) and deletion of chromosome X (delq 23). In this series of patients the following chromosome variations were found: 9qh+, Yq- and Yq+, 14s + and 21s +. The causal role of these abnormalities and chromosome variations on the failure of reproduction is discussed.
