An aneugen is a substance that causes a daughter cell to have an abnormal number of chromosomes or aneuploidy.
Aneugens and clastogens can be differentiated via certain stains, using the technique of Fluorescence in situ hybridization.
Males, if exposed to certain environmental and/or occupational chemical hazards may face an increased risk of spermatozoa aneuploidy.
Occupational exposure of pesticide factory workers to fenvalerate is associated with increased spermatozoa DNA damage.
[9] Men contaminated with PFCs in whole blood or seminal plasma have spermatozoa with increased levels of DNA fragmentation and chromosomal aneuploidies.
