Objective: To determine aneuploidy frequencies in sperm from a patient with normal phenotype and 46,XY/45,X mosaicism in somatic cells (peripheral lymphocytes).
Design: Case report.
Setting: Infertility clinic and genetics laboratory.
The glass bead column filtration method was compared with the swim-up technique regarding spermatozoa recovery in normal and pathological human semen. The general characteristics of the semen and the spermatic ATP concentration were measured in 67 patients. Samples processed with glass bead columns provided a good amount of motile forms which however, showed less velocity and linearity than in the case of using the swim-up technique.

Two hundred and twenty-nine samples with normal characteristics were processed following a basic procedure; the remaining 200 were normal and pathological samples that were analyzed pre and post swim-up. Semen specimens were allowed to liquefy for 30 minutes and sperm count, motility, velocity and linearity were determined using the Cellsoft Automatic Semen Analyzer.
