Detailed medical and clinical examinations were carried out on 1608 men attending an infertility clinic to determine if any of those exhibiting abnormal semenograms also had any other readily identifiable clinical condition. In all, 1210 men showed abnormal semenograms according to World Health Organization criteria. Karyotyping of the white blood cells in these 1210 men revealed 44 (3.6%) individuals with either autosomal or sex chromosomal aberrations. However, no single characteristic feature of their semeno-gram or clinical condition was of any diagnostic value to predict the existence of a chromosomal anomaly.

Key words: karyotype/male infertility/semen analysis
