Localization of factors controlling spermatogenesis in the nonfluorescent portion of the human Y chromosome long arm.
TLDR
It is suggested that on the distal portion of the nonfluorescent segment of the long arm of the Y, factors are located controlling spermatogenesis.Abstract:
A deletion of the Y chromosome at the distal portion of band q11 was found in 6 men with normal male habitus but with azoospermia. Five of them were found during a survey of 1170 subfertile males while the sixth was karyotyped because of slight bone abnormalities. These findings, together with a review of the literature, suggest that on the distal portion of the nonfluorescent segment of the long arm of the Y, factors are located controlling spermatogenesis.read more

A cytogenetic survey of 14,069 newborn infants. I. Incidence of chromosome abnormalities
TL;DR: The results of the present study when combined with five other comparable studies, thus comprising a total of 46,150 newborn infants, indicates that the frequency of major chromosome abnormalities is between 1:150 and 1:200 live-born babies.

TL;DR: The baseline data presented here reinforce the view that polymorphic chromosome characteristics are very useful markers for characterizing the karyotype of an infant born at the Albert Einstein College Hospital, Bronx, New York, and are consistent with the expectations of the Hardy-Weinberg law.
