The present study was carried out in order to assess the genetic component in a group of sterile or infertile couples from a latin american population. During a six-year-period, 258 patients were investigated. Sixty two per cent of the cases were studied for sterility and 38% for infertility. It was found that 34% had genetic pathology. In infertile couples the frequency of chromosome abnormalities was 2.8%; when sterility was also considered this frequency was 11.6%. Chromosome variants were found in 11.4% of the sterile patients and in 8.8% of the infertile cases.
本研究旨在评估一组来自拉丁美洲人群的不育或不孕夫妇中的遗传因素。在六年期间，对258名患者进行了调查。62%的病例是针对不育进行研究的，38%是针对不孕进行研究的。结果发现，34%有遗传病理学问题。在不孕夫妇中，染色体异常的发生率为2.8%；若同时考虑不育情况，这一发生率为11.6%。在11.4%的不育患者和8.8%的不孕病例中发现了染色体变异。
