ABSTRACT
The article presents a case study of an infertile man diagnosed with small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMCs). It mentions that the man reported that he experiences shortness of breath and faintness when performing various exercises. It says that cytogenetic analysis was performed, in which the genomic DNA was removed from the peripheral blood. It adds that imaging analysis determined that the sSMCs were crossbred with multi-chromosome investigations.
