Abstract excerpt
Both structural and numerical chromosome aberrations in sperm represent important categories of paternally transmitted genetic damage. Therefore, a new multiprobe fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method, using DNA probes for three targets (centromere and telomere of chromosome 1, centromere of chromosome 8), was developed to detect human sperm carrying three types of chromosomal defects: (1) terminal...
