    Abstract : Infertility, defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected regular intercourse, affects up to 15% of all couples of reproductive age.

    Abstract : Chromosomal aberrations occurring during gametogenesis and early embryonic development play a significant role in infertility and fetal loss in humans. Germ cells that have an abnormal number of chromosomes (aneuploidy) are generated mainly due to errors during female gamete formation, a phenomenon increasing in occurrence with age. READ MORE
