Abstract

Sperm aneuploidy can directly affect pregnancy outcomes. Actually, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is the most popular and dominant method of determining aneuploidy in sperm cells. Objective of our study was to complete the in situ fluorescence hybridization technique to analyze aneuploidy from sperm cells. Methods: 15 semen samples were conducted to FISH for analysis aneuploidy rate at the Center for Clinical Genetics and Genomics, Hanoi Medical University Hospital, and Gentis International testing centre, Gentis Genetic Analysis Services Joint Stock Company. Results: 15/15 sperm samples successfully performed in FISH to analyze sperm aneuploidy for five chromosomes (13, 18, 21, X, Y). Conclusion: The FISH technique has several stages, each with its own characteristics consistent with the structure, membrane properties and DNA of the sperm cell, to ensure a successful procedure and clear analytical results, allowing accurate detection of chromosomal aberrations from sperm cells.
