Cytogenetic analysis of human oocytes remaining unfertilized after intracytoplasmic sperm injection

Fertil Steril. 2006 Feb;85(2):302-7. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2005.10.015.

Abstract

Oocytes remaining unfertilized after intracytoplasmic sperm injection showed 12.0% aneuploidy (nondisjunction + unbalanced predivision), 3.4% structural aberrations, and 8.5% balanced predivision in fully karyotyped cells. However, the frequently observed complete or partial separation of chromatids, most probably caused by abortive activation, might complicate the evaluation of meiosis I-derived aneuploidy and questions the relevance of balanced predivision.
