What is Wrong with the Human Reproductive System?
Human reproduction is highly inferior by mammalian standards. This is manifest as: (i) poor semen quality; (ii) a lower probability of conception; (iii) an increased risk of aneuploidy embryos (e.g. Down syndrome); (iv) a high risk of embryonic loss (early miscarriage); and (v) the recent rise of germ-cell testicular cancer, which occurs in few non-human mammalian species. Review and synthesis of the evidence from several distinct research areas reveals a shared pathogenesis underlying at least some cases of all of them. This involves an intergenerational process, starting with DNA damage to round spermatids. DNA repair in the ooc... view moreĀ»
