| Donor ID (No. ofSpermAnalyzed) | Disomy 1 or Diploidya | Nullisomy 1b |
| D1 (15,073) | 10.6 | 1.9 |
| D2 (15,145) | 7.9 | 0 |
| D3 (10,087) | 8.0 | 0 |
| D4 (10,116) | 9.0 | 3.0 |
| Mean ± SE | 8.9 ± .7 | 1.2 ± .8 |
a
Characterizations of disomy and diploidy were based on the presence of two copies each of all three domains in a cell. The sperm ACM assay cannot distinguish between disomy 1 and diploidy.
b
Characterization of nullisomy was based on the absence of all three domains from a cell.
