Radiation- and chemical-induced structural chromosome aberrations in human spermatozoa.
Previous studies on the clastogenic effects of mutagens on human sperm chromosomes were reviewed. A marked increase of structural chromosome aberrations (SCAs) has been reported in the spermatozoa irradiated in vitro with five kinds of ionizing radiation (137Cs gamma-, 60Co gamma-, X-, and 3H beta-rays and 252Cf neutrons). The micronucleus (MN) test with hybrid two-cell embryos generated from h...
متن کاملNumerical and structural chromosome abnormalities
| Genetic instability, which includes both numerical and structural chromosomal abnormalities, is a hallmark of cancer. Whereas the structural chromosome rearrangements have received substantial attention, the role of whole-chromosome aneuploidy in cancer is much less well-understood. Here we review recent progress in understanding the roles of whole-chromosome aneuploidy in cancer, including t...
متن کاملChromosome abnormalities in human embryos.
The presence of numerical chromosome abnormalities in human embryos was studied using fluorescence in-situ hybridization with four or more chromosome-specific probes. When most cells of an embryo are analysed, this technique allows differentiation to be made between aneuploidy, mosaicism, haploidy and polyploidy. Abnormal types of fertilization, such as unipronucleated, tripronucleated zygotes ...
متن کاملTreatment-related chromosome abnormalities in human embryos.
Mosaicism was studied in good quality embryos from four different centres in order to assess the effects of follicular induction and exposure to laboratory conditions on chromosomal status. The donated embryos were fully biopsied and analysed by fluorescence in-situ hybridization using probes for chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18 and 21, simultaneously. The number of abnormal cells present indicated the...
متن کاملO-2: The Effect of Age on the Expression of Apoptosis Biomarkers in Human Spermatozoa
Background: The negative impact of age on reproductive success has been well demonstrated for women, but age-related changes in the male reproductive system appear to be more subtle. Diminishing testicular function is indicated by a decline in testosterone levels, accompanied by an increase in gonadotropins. Some studies have shown increased age-related numerical and structural sperm chromosoma...
