Embryo aneuploidy presents one of the most important determinants of transfer cycle success. The association of AMA with increased rate of aneuploidy is well established. The systematic review and meta-analysis published by our group did not identify an association of APA with aneuploidy, based on ∼10,000 pooled embryos, however, the power to detect subchromosomal aberrations was limited by the sensitivity of the PGT-A platform used by each center. Our aim was to study the impact of APA on chromosomal aberrations in a large sample size analyzed by high resolution PGT-A.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Study design, size, duration</jats:title> <jats:p>This was a retrospective cohort study performed at the CReATe Fertility Centre Genetics Laboratory, Toronto, Canada, between January 2019-December 2021. A total of 17731 blastocysts from 3506 cycles (2502 patients) were analyzed using high resolution NGS PGT-A (10Mb resolution; 30%-70% reported as mosaicism). Clinical, laboratory and demographic data were obtained for statistical analysis.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Participants/materials, setting, methods</jats:title> <jats:p>Embryos were allocated into two groups by oocyte-provider age: ≤33years and ≥34years. Each group was divided into four sub-groups by paternal age: Group A 20-29(n = 484); GroupB 30-39(n = 9704); GroupC 40-49(n = 6341); GroupD≥50(n = 1202). Multiple logistic/ordinal regressions were conducted to evaluate euploidy, mosaicism and aneuploidy rates between age groups, as appropriate. Each was further sub-analyzed by type of abnormality A-single-whole-chromosome, S-segmental, C-complex (≥2 full-chr-aberrations). Segmental aberrations were divided into subgroups of S + (segmental gain), S-(segmental loss) and CS(complex segmental).</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Main results and the role of chance</jats:title> <jats:p>High resolution NGS PGT-A analysis of 17731 embryos showed 54.9% were euploid, 31.5% were aneuploid and 13.6% mosaic. In the oocyte provider’s age of ≤ 33 group, significant differences between paternal age group A vs. B, C and D were found in euploidy rates (68.8%, 62.5%, 61.7%, 59.0% respectively; p = 0.00559). There were no significant differences in aneuploidy rates (19.1%, 22.7%, 22.5%, 24.6% respectively; p = 0.07184) or mosaicism rates (12.1%, 14.8%, 15.8%, 16.3%; respectively, p = 0.23754).</jats:p> <jats:p>In the oocyte provider’s age of ≥ 34 group, decreasing euploidy rates and increasing aneuploidy rates were observed between all paternal age groups (p = 0.00001 and p &lt; 0.00001,respectively), and no significant differences in mosaicism rates (14%, 12%, 10.2%, 11.6% respectively) reflecting the maternal age effect on euploidy/aneuploidy. In the oocyte provider’s age of ≤ 33 group, paternal group A (2.3%) had significantly lower segmental (S) rates compared to groups B (4.3%, p = 0.027599), C (3.3%, p = 0.039924) and D (4.6%, p = 0.018478). In addition, segmental losses (S-) were lower in group A (1.3%) compared to groups B (3.4%, p = 0.020431), C (3.1%, p = 0.043166) and D (3.7%, p = 0.016385).</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Limitations, reasons for caution</jats:title> <jats:p>The main limitation was the retrospective nature of this study; however, multiple regression analyses were conducted to limit potential bias by adjusting for sperm and oocyte characteristics. In addition, PGT-A analysis cannot provide information on origin of the aneuploidy and all conclusions are deduced from indirect associations to paternal age.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Wider implications of the findings</jats:title> <jats:p>The results of this study provide important information to assist fertility practitioners when providing pre-conception counseling to patients, particularly for couples in which the male partner belongs to an older age group.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Trial registration number</jats:title> <jats:p>na</jats:p> </jats:sec>
