ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To analyze a patient with infertility and a fragile site found at 16q22 by using cytogenetic methods.@*METHODS@#Peripheral blood sample was taken from the patient and subjected to chromosomal karyotyping and single nucleotide polymorphism microarray (SNP-array) analysis.@*RESULTS@#The patient was found to be a mosaicism for a fragile site at 16q22, which has a variable morphology and cannot be induced by folic acid treatment. No abnormality was found by SNP-array analysis.@*CONCLUSION@#A rare fragile site, which can be induced without folic acid treatment, has been identified at 16q22. The strategy of assisted reproduction for such individuals is yet to be explored.
