DNA damage-induced metaphase I arrest is mediated by the spindle assembly checkpoint and maternal age

In mammalian oocytes DNA damage can cause chromosomal abnormalities that potentially lead to infertility and developmental disorders. However, there is little known about the response of oocytes to DNA damage. Here we find that oocytes with DNA damage arrest at metaphase of the first meiosis (MI). T...
