Purpose: To characterize small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC) in infertile males RESEARCH QUESTION: Are molecular cytogenetic methods still relevant for the identification and characterization of sSMC in the era of next-generation sequencing?

Methods: In this paper, we report five males with oligoasthenozoospermia or azoospermia with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss in partnership in four cases. R-banding karyotyping and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis were performed and showed sSMC in all five cases. Microdissection and reverse-FISH were performed in one case.
