All ovulated oocytes initiated GVBD. A significant percentage of ovulated FYN (−/−) oocytes failed to reach metaphase-II and were blocked at metaphase-I (a,b) P<0.05. There was a tendency for FYN (−/−) oocytes to exhibit abnormal spindle and chromatin alignment however this difference was not statistically significant (c) P>0.05.
