Paternal impacts on development: identification of genomic regions vulnerable to oxidative DNA damage in human spermatozoa
12 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Do all regions of the paternal genome within the gamete display equivalent vulnerability to oxidative DNA damage? SUMMARY ANSWER: Oxidative DNA damage is not randomly distributed in mature human spermatozoa but is instead targeted, with particular chromosomes being especially vulnerable to oxidative stress. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Oxidative DNA damage is frequently encountered in the spermatozoa of...
