Deletion - As a Cause for Primary Infertility in Male
نویسندگان
چکیده
Male infertility is often described in terms of role played by Y chromosome and Yq microdeletions. But studies have shown that X chromosome, being enriched for testis specific genes plays a significant role in formation of mature spermatozoa. The couple under study had undergone treatments for infertility including 7 Intrauterine inseminations (IUI) and 6 Invitro Fertilization (IVF) cycles but without any success. On cytogenetic analysis chromosomal aberrations were observed in both male and female partners. But male had more aberrations with major clonal aberrations in the form of Xq deletions. The genes CPXCR1, ARPT1, GLUD-2, SAGE-1 and USP26 are located on Xq21, Xq25 and Xq26 regions. These genes show testis specific expression pattern and play an important role in spermatogenesis. Therefore Xq deletions could be a cause for primary infertility in male.

Background: Male infertility is a Multifactorial syndrome encompassing a wide variety of disorders. In more than half of infertile men, the cause of their infertility is unknown (idiopathic) and could be congenital or acquired. Globozoospermia, also called round-headed spermatozoa, is a rare disease with incidence< 0.1% among male infertile patients. The most prominent feature of globozoospermi...

Background: We are convinced that better infertility treatment will only be achieved with a better under understanding of the molecular mechanisms specific to each patient. To that effect we want to indentify genes involved in male infertility. Materials and Methods: We screened cohorts of infertile men to identify the cause of their infertility. Results: Our team has identified and caracterize...

Background Infertility is defined as failure in pregnancy after one year of unprotected intercourse. Several centers have reported different causes of infertility. The most common causes of infertility are: male factor such as sperm disturbance, female factor such as ovulation dysfunction and tubal factor, both male and female factor, and unexplained infertility .The aim of this study was to su...

Background: Asthenozoospermia, as the most prevalent cause of male infertility, is defined as low percentage of progressively motile spermatozoa per ejaculate. It occurs in both non-syndromic and syndromic forms and later it manifests as a part of primary ciliary dyskinesia. In the last decade, with the advent of Next-generation sequencing technologies numerous genes have been introduced in the...

Objective Approximately 15 percent of couples are infertile. The male factor is responsible for approximately 50% of the cases. One of the main genetic factors playing a role in male infertility is Y chromosomal microdeletion within the proximal long arm of the Y chromosome (Yq11), named azoospermia factor (AZF) region. Recent studies have also demonstrated that there is a potential connection ...
