A simplified method for R banding of human oocyte chromosomes.
A simple and reliable R banding technique was developed for karyotyping mature human oocytes. The banding quality obtained is sufficient for the diagnosis of specific aneuploidies and the discrimination between whole chromosomes and separated chromatids. The ability to karyotype human oocytes accurately will facilitate study of the aetiology of chromosomal abnormalities in human concepti.
