Sperm aneuploidy, or abnormal chromosome number, is linked to reduced sperm motility. This study found higher aneuploidy rates in men with lower sperm motility, suggesting a connection between chromosome abnormalities and sperm function.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Biology
  • Human Genetics
  • Andrology

Background:

  • Poor semen quality is associated with increased sperm disomy and diploidy.
  • Oligozoospermia and teratozoospermia are known risk factors for sperm aneuploidy.
  • The relationship between sperm aneuploidy and reduced motility remains debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between sperm aneuploidy and semen quality parameters.
  • To determine if aneuploidies are linked to reduced sperm motility.

Main Methods:

  • Semen samples analyzed using light microscopy for sperm concentration, motility, and morphology.
  • Fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) used to detect aneuploidies.
  • Statistical analyses performed to correlate aneuploidy rates with semen quality.

Main Results:

  • Total aneuploidy rates were significantly higher in groups with motility <30%.
  • Sperm motility and morphology were statistically related to aneuploidy.
  • Sperm concentration showed a hyperbolic relationship with aneuploidy.

Conclusions:

  • Findings support an association between sperm aneuploidy and reduced sperm motility.
  • Aneuploidies may contribute to impaired sperm function and reduced fertility potential.
