This study indicates that the paternal origin of the 45,X abortus was likely the result of a high level of nullisomy in the sperm and provides evidence for the transmission of chromosomal abnormality from sperm to the conceptus through ICSI.
Despite their similar semen parameters, infertile men with normal karyotypes displayed more frequent increases in sperm aneuploidy, particularly involving the sex chromosomes, than infertile men who were carriers of chromosomal rearrangements. The difference in the magnitude and type of sperm aneuploidy between the two infertile groups is likely related to the different causes of infertility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
