Abstract
A 43 yr old impotent male Caucasian had a chromosomal constitution of 46,XY,17ps+. The satellited chromosome 17 was also present in his sister. There is no evidence that this satellited chromosome causes any clinical abnormality. Multiple banding techniques showed that the 17ps+ is a rare chromosomal heteromorphism.
