Gestational exposure to arsenic reduces female offspring fertility by impairing the repair of DNA double-strand breaks and synapsis formation in oocytes by Cong Ma, Kaiqin Hu, Xueke Zhang, Yaru Yu, Zuying Xu, Tian Ma, Hongzhen Ruan, Yingying Zhang, Jiajia Wang, Xinyu Yue, Chunmei Liang, Huifen Xiang, Rui Guo, Yunxia Cao, Zhiming Ding

“…By assessing the in vitro developmental capacity of oocytes and zygotes, we confirmed that the reduced fertility was due not to impaired oocyte quality but rather to a reduction in oocyte quantity. Arsenic exposure impedes synapsis formation in MPI and compromises homologous recombination-mediated repair of double-strand breaks, resulting in fewer crossovers. …”
