Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

36.6K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Parental Care

12.5K
Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

Spermatogenesis01:41

Spermatogenesis

120.9K
Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid sperm cells are produced in the male testes. It starts with stem cells located close to the outer rim of seminiferous tubules. These spermatogonial stem cells divide asymmetrically to give rise to additional stem cells (meaning that these structures “self-renew”), as well as sperm progenitors, called spermatocytes. Importantly, this method of asymmetric mitotic division maintains a population of spermatogonial stem cells in the male...

Fertilization01:38

Fertilization

89.0K
During fertilization, an egg and sperm cell fuse to create a new diploid structure. In humans, the process occurs once the egg has been released from the ovary, and travels into the fallopian tubes. The process requires several key steps: 1) sperm present in the genital tract must locate the egg; 2) once there, sperm need to release enzymes to help them burrow through the protective zona pellucida of the egg; and 3) the membranes of a single sperm cell and egg must fuse, with the sperm...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Paternal sperm quality and abstinence duration did not significantly impact embryo aneuploidy rates during preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A). This finding suggests male factors have minimal influence on IVF outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Science
  • Genetics
  • In Vitro Fertilization

Background:

  • Paternal factors influencing embryo development and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) outcomes require further investigation.
  • Limited research exists on the association between sperm parameters and embryo aneuploidy rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the association between male factor infertility, sperm characteristics, and embryo aneuploidy.
  • To determine if sperm parameters and insemination techniques affect PGT-A results.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 4108 in vitro fertilization cycles utilizing intracytoplasmic sperm injection and PGT-A.
  • Patients categorized by sperm parameters (oligozoospermia, teratozoospermia) and days of abstinence.
  • Statistical control for parental age and follicle count.

Main Results:

  • Embryo aneuploidy rates were not significantly affected by sperm parameters (oligozoospermia, teratozoospermia).
  • Duration of sperm abstinence did not influence the rate of embryo aneuploidy.
  • Sperm sample source and insemination techniques showed minimal impact on PGT-A outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Sperm quality and source have a minimal observed influence on embryo aneuploidy rates.
  • Further research may explore other paternal or environmental factors affecting PGT-A outcomes.
