dc.description.abstractSemen profile and meiotic segregation products are important for assessing aneuploidy risk and risk of resulting infertility. To determine the effect of varicocelectomy on semen profile and aneuploidy frequency, we investigated semen profile and aneuploidy frequency of selected chromosomes in patients with varicocele before and after varicocelectomy. Chromosomal aneuploidy for selected chromosomes was evaluated using chromosome-specific DNA fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) probes. There was a significant difference in the level of normal sperm morphology before and after varicocelectomy (P > 0.007). There were no significant differences in aneuploidy frequency of chromosomes 1, 16, 17 and 18 in sperm nuclei obtained from patients before varicocelectomy compared with 6-7 months after varicocelectomy (P > 0.05), although FISH analysis with chromosomes 17 and 18 combination showed a higher aneuploidy frequency before varicocelectomy than after varicocelectomy (7.81 +/- 9.67 versus 4.03 +/- 1.46 respectively). In conclusion, varicocele seems to affect the semen profile but minimally affects aneuploidy frequency. Varicocelectomy demonstrates a repairing effect on the semen profile and contributes to a slight decrease in aneuploidy frequency in some but not all chromosomes.en_US
