Evidence for a strong paternal effect on human preimplantation embryo development and blastocyst formation
Abstract
In human in vitro fertilization (I.V.F.), it was first assumed that all the embryos obtained had the same developmental potential whatever the quality of sperm. However, this has not been confirmed. We have used the coculture technique and determined the blastocyst formation rate in three groups of patients: group 1: patients with normal sperm count (>20 × 10 6/ml), motility (>30%), and morphology (>50%); group 2: patients treated by I.V.F. with frozen donor sperm; group 3: patients with severely impaired sperm quality (<3 × 10 6 forward motile and morphologically normal spermatozoa per ml). In group 1, we found a strong correlation between cleavage rate and blastocyst formation rate (P < 0.0001) with a blastocyst formation rate comprised between 40% and 50%. This was not true for the two other groups for which the overall number of blastocysts obtained and the number of patients having at least one blastocyst were severely reduced (P < 0.0001). These data are discussed in terms of DNA quality, timing of formation of the pronuclei, and delays in cell cycles at the time of genomic activation. These observations lead to a new approach to the study of fertilizing ability of poor quality sperm. It may help in the decision as to whether couples treated for male infertility should be excluded from I.V.F. protocols. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
