Abstract
Analysis of meiotic pairing behavior in two XYY males presenting at su bfertility clinic brings evidence that the abnormal mode of pairing ca used by the presence of the extra Y chromosome, disturbs achievement o f spermatogenesis resulting in severe oligoastheno-teratozoospermia. I n contrast, the loss of the supernumerary Y before meiosis, allows ach ievement and normal sperm production.
