Abnormal semen parameters in chromosomally normal men are an indicator of an increased risk of sperm aneuploidy. Male carriers of chromosomal rearrangements may also display an increase in sperm aneuploidy for chromosomes not involved in the rearrangement, known as an interchromosomal effect (ICE), and this may be related to the impaired semen parameters of these men.
