We question whether,in men with an abnormal rate of sperm DNA fragmentation,the magnetic-activated cell sorting(MACS)could select spermatozoa with lower rates of DNA fragmentation as well as spermatozoa with unbalanced chromosome *** spermatozoa from six males were separated into nonapoptotic and apoptotic *** determined the percentages of spermatozoa with(i)externalization of phosphatidylserine(EPS)by annexin V-Fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC)labeling,(ii)DNA fragmentation by TdT-mediated-dUTP nick-end labeling(TUNEL),and(iii)numerical abnormalities for chromosomes X,Y,13,18,and 21 by fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH),on the whole ejaculate and selected spermatozoa in the same *** to the nonapoptotic fraction,the apoptotic fraction statistically showed a higher number of spermatozoa with EPS,with DNA fragmentation,and with numerical chromosomal *** to the whole ejaculate,we found a significant decrease in the percentage of spermatozoa with EPS and decrease tendencies of the DNA fragmentation rate and the sum of disomy levels in the nonapoptotic ***,we observed statistically significant higher rates of these three parameters in the apoptotic *** may help to select spermatozoa with lower rates of DNA fragmentation and unbalanced chromosome content in men with abnormal rates of sperm DNA fragmentation.

Macrozoospermia,characterized by the presence of largeheaded spermatozoa usually carrying several flagella,is one of the most severe phenotypes of male *** in most cases,the gametes are chromosomally abnormal and cannot be used for assisted reproductive technologies(ART)(Ray et al.,2017).In 2007,subjects from consanguineous families were shown to carry the same homozygous deleterious AURKC variant(NM_001015878.2:c.144delC,later renamed c.145delC,***49TrpfsTer23),establishing AURKC as the first and main gene associated with macrozoospermia(Dieterich et al.,2007).Using flow cytometry,all spermatozoa from patients homozygous for the c.145delC variant were shown to be tetraploid,highlighting a cytokinesis blockage of the first meiotic divisions thus confirming that ART cannot be successful for these patients(Dieterich et al.,2009).
