Summary
A pericentric inversion of chromosome 1 was found in three phenotypically normal brothers. The proband consulted for azoospermia. Also, one of his brothers is azoospermic and another one is severely oligozoospermic. G-banding studies indicate that the breakpoints of the inversion are at p13,q25.
