Increased Y chromosome microdeletions in cord blood of male newborns from assisted reproductive technology compared to natural conception

CONCLUSIONS: Our studies indicate that the population of male children conceived through ARTs, particularly ICSI, are at an increased risk of genetic defect in the form of partial Y chromosome microdeletions. The growing population of ART-conceived children emphasizes the importance of studying genetic repercussions of these procedures in regards to the future fertility of males conceived in vitro.PMID:38176679 | DOI:10.1016/j.jogc.2023.102342
