Fertilization in vitro increases non-disjunction during early cleavage divisions in a mouse model system
29 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We have been studying an unusual mouse-the BALB/cWt (Wt) male-in which the Y chromosome is susceptible to high rates of mitotic non-disjunction, particularly at the first two cleavage divisions. As these are the same divisions that human embryos generated through assisted reproductive technology must complete in an artificial setting, analysis of the Wt Y chromosome allows us to examine the effect of...
