  • Title: [Study on the mechanism of oocyte aneuploidy formation by multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization].
    Author: Chen W, Mettler L.
    Journal: Zhonghua Yi Xue Yi Chuan Xue Za Zhi; 2004 Jun; 21(3):203-6. PubMed ID: 15192817.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism of oocyte aneuploidy formation. METHODS: The unfertilized oocytes were fixed 1-3 days after oocyte retrieval. Multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (M-FISH) was performed according to the Vysis protocol to check the chromosome status in oocytes by using centromeric enumerator probes for chromosomes 16, 18 and locus-specific probes for chromosomes 13, 21 and 22. RESULTS: 47% oocytes were found to be normal, while 53 % oocytes were abnormal. Nondisjunction was found in 22(18%) oocytes, unbalanced predivision of chromatids in 15(12%) oocytes, balanced predivision of chromatids in 45(36%) oocytes. The balanced predivision rate in oocytes aged in vitro>24h was much higher than that in oocytes aged in vitro<or=24h (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Both nondisjunction, balanced and unbalanced predivision of chromatids are involved in the oocyte aneuploidy formation. Balanced predivision is related to the time in culture.
