Abstract: | Prenatal cytogenetic analysis of 71 fetuses conceived by intracytoplasmic
sperm injection (ICSI) resulted in the detection of nine (12.7%) chromosome
aberrations including two cases of 47,XXY, four cases involving a 45,X cell
line and three autosomal trisomies. Molecular analysis of the parental
origin of the deleted or supernumerary chromosome was performed by using
polymorphic microsatellite markers. Six cases involving a sex chromosome
abnormality were found to be of paternal origin while the two trisomic
cases that could be analysed were of maternal origin. Two cases involved
the same infertile couple who had two consecutive ICSI pregnancies
terminated because of a chromosome abnormality. The replaced embryos in
both cases originated from a single batch of ICSI fertilized oocytes of
which part was used to initiate the first pregnancy and part was
cryopreserved and used to initiate the second pregnancy.
