Effect of male age on sperm quality and fertilityKidd et al. Fertil Steril 2001
• Review of the published literature from 1980-1999• Volume
– Decrease 3-30% from age 30 to 50• Seminal vesicle and prostate changes
• Concentration– No change
• No control for abstinence• Motility
– Decrease 3-37% from age 30 to 50• Prostate and epididymal changes
• Morphology– Decrease 4-22% from age 30 to 50
• Germinal epithelium and epididymal changes• Pregnancy rates
– Confounded by age but a trend for a 38% decrease from age 30 to 50

Early hints at the link between paternal age and
birth defects
• 1912-Dr. Weinberg– Achondroplasia more often in younger siblings
• Dr. Penrose– Paternal age associated with de novo AD mutations
• Now >20 disorders associated with paternal age– Alpert, Crouzon, Pfeiffer, Marfan, Achrondoplasia,
neurofibromatosis, osteogenesis imperfecta

Meiosis vs Mitosis
• Women have ~24 divisions in the cells that give rise to their eggs
• Men have >30 rounds of mitosis prior to puberty– About 23 replications
per year

Spermatogenesis
• ~23 replications per year
• Age 30– 380 mitotic divisions
• Age 40– 610 mitotic divisions
• Age 50– 840 mitotic divisions

Male Infertility
• Infertile males with oligospermia or azoospermia (n = 9766)
– 5.8% incidence of chromosomal abnormalities• 4.2% sex chromosome• 1.5% autosome
– Baseline fertile males: 0.5%

Karyotypic Abnormalities
• Frequency is inversely proportional to sperm concentration
• Most common anomaly is Klinefelter syndrome– atrophic hyalinized testes

ICSI-Derived Offspring
• Of concern because of increased sperm aneuploidy in OAT males
• 1% incidence of sex chromosome aneuploidy in ICSI conceptions– 0.14 % - 0.19 % baseline
(non-ICSI)
– ? Unidentified Klinefelter’s mosaics
• Consider karyotyping all infertile males?
• Consider prenatal diagnosis for all ICSI-derived pregnancies?

5 year follow up of ICSI Children• Examination at 5 years of age• Matched to spontaneous conception controls
– Maternal age– Gender– Child age– Same centers
• Assessment– Growth– General health– Chronic illnesses– Surgical intervention– Neurological development
• Results– ICSI children had more surgical interventions (13% vs 10.5%)– Otherwise equivalent outcomes
