Comparative culture media studies were carried out by simultaneously culturing blood samples in TC 199 and RPMI 1640 media. Taking into account that X chromosome aberrations may be interfering with fertility the cattle population were also evaluated for their reproductive performance. One thousand metaphase spreads were studied in each culture media and showed normal chromosome constitution in most cells. Frequency of Xq fragility detected in TC 199 was while in RPMI 1640 it was p . According to reproductive performance repeat breeders manifested 92 of all Fra Xq detected. The differences in expression in both tissue culture media and the frequencies of the Xq fragility observed in cattle with reproductive problems are discussed. fragile X I cattle cytogenetics fertility Resume Etude préliminaire sur 1 incidence de la fragilite du chromosome X en race bovine Holstein. Vingt vaches de race Holstein-Friesian Uruguayenne ont été examinees cytogénétiquement pour apprécier lafragilite Xq Fra Xq . Une étude comparative entre les milieux de culture a été menée par culture simultanée des échantillons sanguins dans le smilieux TC 199 et RPMI 1640. En raison de I incidence possible des aberrations du chromosome X sur la fertilite les animaux ont été aussi évalués pour leur performance reproductive. Mille metaphases ont été étudiées dans chaque milieu de culture et la majorite des cellules a montré une constitution chromosomique .
