Diploid sperm and the origin of triploidy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Trisomy 16, the 45,X monosomy and triploidy are the more frequent chromosome anomalies in spontaneous abortions. Earlier estimations, based on frequencies of diandric triploidy at conception, resulted in a good correlation with the frequencies of diploid sperm in infertile males (up to 1.9%). Recent data have shown that most diandric triploids originate by dispermy, although 8.3% of them are produced by diploid sperm resulting from meiotic errors. Using these data, the estimated frequency of diploid sperm is still in good correlation with the percentage above. Furthermore, analysis of male pronuclei (PN) in 3PN zygotes produced by ICSI with sperm from oligo-, crypto- and azoospermic males revealed that 33.3% of them were diploid, while none of the PN produced by normozoospermic males by IVF was. The estimated frequency of diploid sperm in these infertile males is also in good correlation with the previous figures. The data suggest that most diandric triploids are produced by normozoospermic males by dispermy, while most diandric triploids produced by oligozoospermic males would result from fertilization by unreduced, diploid sperm.

متن کاملA human tetraploid pachytene spermatocyte as the possible origin of diploid sperm: a case report.
Diploid spermatozoa represent 0.2-0.3% of all spermatozoa in the normal population and cause 8.3% of diandric triploids. Errors in meiosis I and II are the most common mechanisms by which diploid spermatozoa are produced. Endoreduplication before meiosis has been suggested as a possible origin for tetraploid meiocytes, which might, in turn, produce diploid sperm. Synaptonemal complex (SC) sprea...
متن کاملPrenatal Diagnosis of Triploidy in Fetus with Unexpected Chromosomal Translocation of Maternal Origin
Triploidy is a lethal chromosomal abnormality. Foetuses with triploid condition have a tendency to die in early conception and very few survive to term. In this study, we report the prenatal diagnosis of fetal triploidy with unexpected chromosomal translocation. A 27 years old women was referred to our clinical cytogenetic department due to history of previous conceptus with intrauterine growth...

متن کاملProduction of fertile unreduced sperm by hybrid males of the Rutilus alburnoides complex (Teleostei, cyprinidae). An alternative route to genome tetraploidization in unisexuals.
The hybrid minnow Rutilus alburnoides comprises diploid and polyploid females and males. Previous studies revealed that diploid and triploid females exhibit altered oogenesis that does not involve random segregation and recombination of the genomes of the two ancestors, constituting unisexual lineages. In the present study, we investigated the reproductive mode of hybrid males from the Tejo bas...
