Mechanisms aga<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>st sperm aneuploidy<br />

The differences between the paternal and maternal c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong><br />

to aneuploidy are rather due to more effective checkpo<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>t<br />

mechanisms <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> spermatogenesis than <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> oogenesis (Uroz et al,<br />

2012; Templado, 2013)<br />

It is well known that dur<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g spermatogenesis various checkpo<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>ts<br />

are activated to arrest cells with chromosome abnormalities,<br />

lead<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g to a reducti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> gamete producti<strong>on</strong> and therefore the<br />

male <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>fertility (Egozcue et al, 2005)<br />

Inefficient c<strong>on</strong>trol mechanisms could therefore be <strong>on</strong>e<br />

explanati<strong>on</strong> for the <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>creased rate of chromosome abnormalities<br />

observed <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> some cases (Sarranate et al, 2009)<br />
