Abstract | AIM: To study the aneuploidy rates of chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y in Percoll gradient centrifuged sperm from infertile patients with male infertility factor treated by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (CSI) compared with healthy fertile donors and infertile patients with normal semen parameters. METHODS: This case-controlled study was conducted in a university hospital. Semen samples were obtained from three healthy fertile donors, eight infertile patients with normal semen parameters, and 18 infertile patients with male infertility factor. All samples were subjected to mini- Percoll gradient centrifugation before being processed through fluorescent in situ hybridization. The incidences of aneuploidy were compared using Chi-squared test. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: A total of 64949 spermatozoa were analyzed. The disomy rates for chromosomes 13, 18, 21, and X or Y of sperm from patients with male infertility factor were 0.21%, 0.37%, 0.36% and 0.63%, respectively, whereas the diploidy rate was 0.17-0.23%. These incidences were higher than those from men with normal semen parameters. The result suggested that the embryos of patients with male infertility factor treated by ICSI are at increased risk of chromosome abnormalities.
