PG - 1012-20 LID - 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2009.04.043 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To assess whether the differential sperm tail swelling patterns observed following hypo-osmotic shock are useful in discriminating normal sperm from aneuploid sperm. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: University research setting. INTERVENTION(S): Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was combined with hypo-osmotic swelling for a simultaneous assessment of aneuploidy and viability in human spermatozoa. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): FISH for chromosomes 1, 13, 18, 21, X, and Y after hypo-osmotic stress was used to investigate the distribution of sperm aneuploidy related to sperm-tail swelling patterns. A total of 16,473 sperm cells were scored from three normal fertile donors and six oligoasthenoteratozoospermic (OAT) patients. RESULT(S): There was a 17.2-fold decrease in the frequency of total aneuploidy in the sperm with a tail-tip swelling pattern compared with the initial nonselected sperm in the OAT patients. Strikingly, when the sperm with tail-tip swelling patterns were screened from the patients, the frequency of total aneuploidy was actually lower by a factor of four than in the nonselected sperm from fertile donors. CONCLUSION(S): The sperm cells with tail-tip swelling patterns are related to a low frequency of aneuploidy. CI - Copyright (c) 2010 American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
