P-118: Triplet Nucleotide Repeats Expansion (CAG and GGN) of Androgen Receptor Gene in Infertile Patients with Abnormal Spermogram
Background s:648:"The infertility has recently been estimated to affect approximately 9% of couples worldwide. Androgens and a functional androgen receptor (AR) are essential for normal development of the male gender, and for maintenance of spermatogenesis throughout the life. Two polymorphic trinucleotide repeats, CAG and GGN, encoding for the amino acids glutamine and glycine, respectively ar...
متن کاملP-119: Survey of Genetic Alterations in Exon1 of Androgen Receptor Gene in Azoospermic Patients
Background Androgen receptor (AR) mediates androgen actions such as initiation and promotion of spermatogenesis and growth of accessory sex organs. There are two trinucleotide polymorphisms (CAG and GGN repeats) in exon1 of AR gene that are vary in length in population. The CAG and GGN repeats association with infertility is still unknown and this study is planned to assess the distribution of ...
متن کاملO-42: Expansion of CAG Repeats in theSpinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1 (SCA1) Gene inIdiopathic Oligozoospermia Patients
Background: The lengths of CAG repeats in two spinocerebellar ataxia genes, SCA1 and SCA3, were analyzed to determine whether such repeats exist in higher numbers in infertile males. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from healthy controls, oligozoospermia patients, and azoospermia patients. DNA fragments containing target CAG repeats were amplified by PCR with template DNA pur...
متن کاملThe POLG Gene Polymorphism in Iranian Varicocele-Associated Infertility Patients
Objective(s) Varicocele is associated with impaired testicular function and male infertility, but the molecular mechanisms by which fertility is affected have not been satisfactorily explained. The aim of our study was to investigate whether or not the polymerase gamma (POLG) polymorphism is associated with Iranian varicocele patients. Materials and Methods We determined the POLG CAG repe...
متن کاملAssessment of Correlation between Androgen Receptor CAG Repeat Length and Infertility in Infertile Men Living in Khuzestan, Iran
Background The androgen receptor (AR) gene contains a polymorphic trinucleotide repeat that encodes a polyglutamine tract in its N-terminal transactivation domain (NTAD). We aimed to find a correlation between the length of this polymorphic tract and azoospermia or oligozoospermia in infertile men living in Khuzestan, Iran. MaterialsAndMethods In this case-control study during two years till 20...
