The results of 585 fetal prenatal karyotypes indicated six (1%) de novo chromosomal anomalies of which five were sex-chromosomal aberrations. These data show a slight increase of sex-chromosomal anomalies in children conceived after ICSI compared with the general population or with prenatal diagnoses carried out as a result of maternal age.
