Cryopreservation of mouse oocytes induced a high rate of atresia. Frozen oocytes observed immediately after thawing did not exhibit any alteration in the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities, aneuploidy or polyploidy. After in-vitro fertilization attempts, the cleavage rate of frozen-thawed mouse oocytes was decreased. Cytogenetical observations of inseminated eggs also confirmed this decrease in fertilization rate. First and second cleavages were delayed compared to fresh controls but subsequent development to the 4-cell stage was not altered. Freeze-thawing increased the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in inseminated oocytes but this only concerned the frequency of triploidy and not monosomic or trisomic aneuploidy. The increase in triploidy seemed to be largely due to the presence of digynic embryos. Second polar body retention seemed to be mainly responsible for this high rate of polyploidy.
