Nulliparous (n = 1,890) and multiparous (n = 6,339) women were compared with 8,102 female newborns. Overall, 65 candidates were carriers of chromosomal abnormalities and were, therefore, excluded from the donation process (0.79%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.60–0.98). The occurrence of balanced structural chromosomal rearrangements globally increased in the study population (0.49%; 95% CI, 0.34–0.64) compared with that in female newborns (0.24%; 95% CI, 0.34–0.64). The number of reciprocal translocations increased fivefold in nulliparous oocyte donor candidates (0.37%; 95% CI, 0.10–0.64). The incidence of sex chromosome mosaicism notably increased in multiparous oocyte donor candidates, with 17 cases (0.27%; 95% CI, 0.14–0.40). Among chromosomal aberration carriers, only 2 nulliparous women (1 reciprocal translocation and 1 sex chromosome mosaicism) had fertility issues with a diagnosis of premature ovarian failure.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>In this comprehensive 16-year French experience of karyotyping in oocyte donor candidates, we confirmed an increased incidence of balanced structural chromosomal rearrangements, especially among those without children at the time of recruitment. Karyotyping could be considered to identify any chromosomal abnormalities that may not be easily detectable through medical questioning. These abnormalities pose an inherent genetic risk for gamete recipients if left undetected.</div></div><div><div>Anomalías cromosómicas en candidatas a donantes de ovocitos: un estudio francés sobre más de 8,200 cariotipos</div></div><div><h3>Objetivo</h3><div>Estudiar los cariotipos de > 8,200 candidatas a donantes de ovocitos en mujeres nulíparas o multíparas en comparación con una población de referencia.</div></div><div><h3>Diseño</h3><div>Estudio multicéntrico observacional retrospectivo.</div></div><div><h3>Sujetos</h3><div>El estudio incluyó 2 cohortes de candidatas a donantes de ovocitos reclutadas entre enero de 2005 y octubre de 2021: mujeres multíparas con al menos 1 hijo en el momento del reclutamiento y mujeres nulíparas.
