[Cytogenetic investigation of somatic cells and morphofunctional characteristics of oocytes in women with reproductive function disorder].

Results of cytogenetic investigation of the rate and the types of chromosome aberrations in lymphocytes of peripheric blood in 31 infertile women are presented. The high frequency of karyotype abnormalities (16.4%) has been shown in the studied group. Morphofunctional characteristics of the oocytes of the women with normal and abnormal karyotypes have been compared. Oocytes of the patients with chromosome abnormalities were characterized by reduced ability to fertilization and further development.
