Abstract

According to recent studies, sperm aneuploidy is a factor that can significantly affect men’s fertility, as well as the outcomes of assisted reproductive techniques. The most optimal and widely used technique for detecting sperm aneuploidy is fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). This study aims to assess the rate of sperm aneuploidy in males in Vietnam. We used the fluorescence in situ hybridization method to evaluate the aneuploidy of some chromosomes in 35 semen samples. The results showed that the rate of sperm aneuploidy with chromosomes 13, 18, 21 were: 0,174%, 0,161% and 0,259%, respectively. The total rate of sex chromosome aneuploidy is 0,417%. The results from 35 study samples allow for an initial description of the rate of sperm aneuploidy in Vietnamese men with potential for normal reproduction, providing reference value for future research.
