Abstract

In humans, aneuploidy is mainly originated by errors produced during female gametogenesis. This phenomenon makes oogenesis such an attractive research topic, but due to the difficulties involving sample collection, not many studies have been performed in human oocytes. In this paper, a summary of the current knowledge about human female meiosis is provided, specially focusing on the differences between male and female gametogenesis that may explain the origin of such an important topic for Western society.
