PG - 200-4 AB - The objective of this research was to develop chromosome-specific probes for use in evaluating aneuploidy in boar spermatozoa through the application of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technology. A multicolor FISH method was developed to detect aneuploidy in the sperm of boars using DNA probes specific for small regions of chromosomes 1, 10, and Y. The average frequencies of sperm with disomy for chromosomes 1, 10, and Y were 0.075%, 0.067%, and 0.094%, respectively. The incidence of disomy did not differ significantly by chromosome. The average frequencies of diploidy were 0.177% for 1-1-10-10 and 0.022% for Y-Y-10-10. Thus, the incidence of overall diploidy (1-1-10-10) was significantly higher than that of disomy for the chromosomes examined (P < 0.01 for disomy of the autosomes and P < 0.05 for disomy of the Y chromosome). No significant age or breed effects on disomy and diploidy rates and no significant interindividual variations in disomy or diploidy were found. The observed level of numerical chromosome aberrations in pig sperm appear to be within the range of the baseline frequencies reported so far in men.
