Telomere lengths in human pronuclei, oocytes and spermatozoa

20 Mar 2013

Abstract excerpt

Telomeres are chromosome ends that control functions related to cell division. Short telomeres are proposed to underlie infertility, female reproductive ageing and abnormal embryogenesis, but there is little direct evidence on telomere length in gametes and embryos. The aim of this study was to measure telomere lengths in individual human oocytes, spermatozoa, male and female pronuclei, in order to compare...
