abstract

background: the genetic association between cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (cftr) gene mutations and male infertility due to congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens (cbavd) is well established. mutant cftr, however may also be involved in the etiology of male infertility in non-cbavd cases. the present study was conducted to estimate the frequency of δi507 and δf508 cftr gene mutations in iranian infertile males. we undertook the first study of association between these cftr mutations and non-obstructive azoospermia in iran. in this case-control study, 100 fertile healthy fathers and 100 non-obstructive azoospermia’s men were recruited from isfahan infertility center (iic) and sari saint mary’s infertility center, between 2008 and 2009. screening of f508del and i507del mutations was carried out by the multiplex-arms-pcr. significance of differences in mutation frequencies between the patient and control groups was assessed by fisher’s exact test. the δf508 was detected in three patients. however there are no significant association was found between the presence of this mutated allele and infertility [or=9.2 (allele-based) and 7.2 (individual-based), p=0.179]. none of the samples carried the δi507 mutation. altogether, we show that neither δi507 nor δf508 is involved in this population of iranian infertile males with non-obstructive azoospermia. materials and methods: results: conclusion:

Frequency of CYP1A1 Gene Polymorphisms in Infertile Men with Non-obstructive Azoospermia

Background and Aims: The cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) plays a curial role in phase I metabolism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to their ultimate biologically active intermediates that have potential reproductive toxicity in men. Reproductive functions in men may be impaired by many environmental, physiologic, and genetic factors. The majority of the environmental factors are xenobiotics. M...

Chromosomal studies in infertile men with oligozoospermia & non-obstructive azoospermia.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Chromosomal anomalies have been postulated to be as one of the principal genetic factors in male infertility. Cytogenetic evaluation of men with severely compromised semen parameters reveals an increased incidence of chromosomal aberrations when compared with the normal population. The objective of this study was to determine the chromosomal constitution and sperm charact...

The frequency of follicle stimulating hormone receptor gene polymorphisms in Iranian infertile men with azoospermia

BACKGROUND Azoospermia is the medical condition of a man not having any measurable level of sperm in his semen. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a member of the glycoprotein hormone family that plays an important role in human reproduction because of its essential role in normal spermatogenesis. Various Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported within FSH receptor (FSHR) ge...

Identification of Two Novel Mutations in KDM3A Regulatory Gene in Iranian Infertile Males

Background: KDM3A is a key epigenetic regulator that is expressed in the testis and is required for packaging and condensation of sperm chromatin. To this point, the association of the KDM3A gene and infertility has not been studied in human. The aim of this study was to screen any new mutation in KDM3A gene to explore more details of human male infertility. Methods: In this work, 150 infertile...
