Novel mutations in ubiquitin-specific protease 26 gene might cause spermatogenesis impairment and male infertility.
AIM To study the incidence of single nucleotide polymorphisms in ubiquitin-specific protease 26 (USP26) gene and its involvement in idiopathic male infertility in China. METHODS Routine semen analysis was performed. Infertility factors such as immunological, infectious and biochemical disorders were examined to select patients with idiopathic infertility. DNA was isolated from peripheral bloo...
متن کاملAssociation of 370-371insACA, 494T>C, and 1423C>T haplotype in ubiquitin-specific protease 26 gene and male infertility: a meta-analysis
Whether the 370-371insACA, 494T>C, and 1423C>T haplotype in ubiquitin-specific protease 26 (USP26) gene is associated with male infertility is controversial. To clarify this issue, we conducted a meta-analysis based on the most recent studies. Eligible studies were screened by using PubMed and Embase. Pooled odd ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated with fixed effect model...
متن کاملEpigenetics, spermatogenesis and male infertility.
Epigenetic modifications characterized by DNA methylation, histone modifications, and chromatin remodeling are important regulators in a number of biological processes, including spermatogenesis. Several genes in the testes are regulated through epigenetic mechanisms, indicating a direct influence of epigenetic mechanisms on the process of spermatogenesis. In the present article, we have provid...
متن کاملInfertility caused by polymorphisms or mutations in spermatogenesis-specific genes.
Spermiogenesis Germ cells differentiate and function to transmit the parental genome to descendant generations. All of the attributes of germ cells that distinguish them from somatic cell lines are related to this prime function. Germ cells differentiate by either oogenesis or spermatogenesis to form eggs and sperm, respectively. Meiosis occurs exclusively in the formation of eggs and sperm and...
متن کاملSmall RNA in spermatogenesis and male infertility.
Small RNA has become a crucial regulator of protein synthesis during spermatogenesis. Alterations in small RNA function prove to be detrimental to proper spermatogenesis. As many patients suffer from idiopathic infertility, understanding the molecular mechanisms of small RNA identifies possible causes of certain types of infertility. With a comprehensive review of the history of miRNA and piRNA...
