To date, none study shows the impact of human spermatozoa nuclear alteration on embryonic development kinetic with morpho-kinetics tools. In this study, Investigator analyze the possible influence of sperm nuclear quality on embryonic development kinetics. Moreover, Investigator will evaluate possible new sperm biomarkers and try to better understand the pathophysiology of male infertility.
In recent years, there has clearly been a significant decline in male fertility in industrialized countries, particularly sperm quality. Furthermore, it is known that the quality of sperm DNA affects embryonic development and pregnancy outcomes. However, few elements are known about the effects of spermatozoa nuclear alterations on the embryonic development kinetics.
Thus, the aim of this study is to analyze the possible influence of sperm nuclear quality on the embryonic development kinetics. In order to answer this question, Investigator will study the spermatozoa quality of patients whose torque is supported by ICSI.
On these spermatozoa, Investigator will analyze DNA fragmentation, oxidation by measuring the 8-OHdG residues, chromatin compaction and nuclear methylation degree. This will allow to determine the spermatic nuclear parameters in relation to an ICSI fertilization rate (normal> 60%) and a good blastocyst rate (≥ B3 in the Gardner classification).
And finally, by this study, Investigator will probably find new biological markers spermatic. Moreover, the data will help to better understand the physiopathology of male infertility.

The spermatic DNA Compaction will be determinated by chromomycine A3 labelling (CMA3). A sperm is good when il has at least 30% of positive spermatozoa to CMA3 assay
| at day 1 |
| Spermatic DNA Oxidation | The spermatic DNA oxidation will be quantified by 8-OHdG residue detection. The result will be expressed as a percentage of oxidized DNA | at day 1 |
| Spermatic DNA methylation | Spermatic DNA methylation quantified by 5-mC residue immune-detection by Elisa assay. In control population, a rate of 13% of methylated spermatozoa is considered as normal | at day 1 |
