Alteration of gene expression in human cumulus cells as a potential indicator of oocyte aneuploidy
22 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human female meiosis is particularly error prone, leading to the generation of aneuploidy, a problem which increases dramatically with advancing age. Despite being of great clinical importance, the genesis of oocyte aneuploidy remains poorly understood. Cumulus cells (CCs) surround oocytes in antral follicles and play a crucial role in regulating their maturation. During this investigation, we aimed...
