FISH assessment of aneuploidy frequencies in mature and immature human spermatozoa classified by the absence or presence of cytoplasmic retention
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
Previously, a relationship has been found between diminished cellular maturity of human spermatozoa and low-level expression of the testis-specific chaperone protein, HspA2. Because HspA2 is a component of the synaptonemal complex in rodents, and assuming that this is also the case in men, it was postulated that the frequency of chromosomal aneuploidies would be higher in immature versus mature spermatozoa. This...
