Abstract
The results provided by the Fédération des Centres d'Etude et de Conservation du Sperme Humain (CECOS) are based on 15,283 requests for AID. They are analysed from the point of view of medical genetics. The genetic indications represent 0.77% of requests for AID and can be separated into four groups: dominant autosomal abnormalities in the man, previous children affected by autosomal recessive conditions, chromosomal abnormalities in the man, and a miscellaneous group. In 2,502 births, a total of 45 malformations was seen, including nine chromosomal abnormalities. The possibility of an early amniocentesis for prenatal diagnosis in every pregnancy after AID is discussed.Keywords
