Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in a Male Infertility- Related Gene CatSper
Objective To identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of human CatSper gene, the mouse homologous gene product, which plays a crucial role in mouse male sterility. Methods We demonstrated a systematic screening of SNPs in coding regions and flanking intronic regions of human CatSper gene in a sample subset from a total 210 male individuals by DNA sequencing. Then we used PCR single-stran...
متن کاملInm-4: Genetic Aspects of Male and Female Infertility
Genetic causes can be directly responsible for various clinical conditions of male and female infertility and genetic variability may affect the ability to reproduce. This review aims to summarize current research on genetic diagnosis and genetic causes of reproductive disorders. Chromosome abnormalities account for 60% of all spontaneous abortions, and the most common type, trisomy, is closely...
متن کاملGenetic Causes of Male Infertility
Infertility is a major health problem today, affecting about 15.0% of couples trying to have a child. Impaired fertility of the male is causative in 20.0% of infertile couples and contributory in up to another 30.0-40.0%. Infertility already affects about 5.0-7.0% of the general male population and may further increase in the future, considering the apparent trend of declining sperm count in in...
متن کاملGenetic evaluation of male infertility
Men with severe oligospermia (<5 million sperm/mL ejaculate fluid) or azoospermia should receive genetic testing to clarify etiology of male infertility prior to treatment. Categorization by obstructive azoospermia (OA) or non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is critical since genetic testing differs for the former with normal testicular function, testicular volume (~20 mL), and follicle-stimulati...
متن کاملGenetic Testing in Male Infertility
Infertility is a major health problem which affects approximately 22% of married couples in reproductive age. The apparent increased incidence of male infertility, in parallel with the widespread use of in vitro fertilization (IVF), raises concern as to the impact of advanced assisted conception techniques in transmitting genetic anomalies to the offspring. Recent research has widely focused on...
