Abstract
In contrast to the success of ICSI in treating male infertility, concerns have been raised about the health outcomes of the children conceived through this procedure. Cohort studies have shown that the ICSI population has an increase in low birth weight (LBW), birth defects, chromosomal abnormalities, and imprinting disorders. However, the underlying causes remain unknown.

Abstract
In vitro fertilization (IVF) has been achieved in several mammalian species, including humans. Using the technique of IVF and embryo transfer, pregnancies can now be established in infertile women and thousands of live births have occurred. However, many of the embryos transferred to the uterus fail to achieve or sustain implantation. The failure of implantation has raised questions about the possible detrimental effect of superovulation on chromosomal complements. In this study, the hypothesis that chromosomal aberrations exist in mouse preimplantation embryos and human unfertilized oocytes after superovulation, was tested. The incidence of aneuploidy in spontaneously ovulated group (5.6%) was similar to that reported by others.
