1 May 1998
Abstract excerpt
Two paramount observations exist regarding aneuploidy in human oocytes: its association with maternal age and its more frequent occurrence during meiosis I. Numerous experimental studies have shown that fertilization of postovulatory aged oocytes is coupled with reproductive failure and cytogenetic aberrations in embryos.
