abstract

background: male infertility is a multifactorial disorder, which affects approximately 10% of couples at childbearing age with substantial clinical and social impact. genetic factors are associated with the susceptibility to spermatogenic impairment in humans. recently, sept12 is reported as a critical gene for spermatogenesis. this gene encodes a testis specific member of septin proteins, a family of polymerizing gtp-binding proteins. sept12 in association with other septins is an essential annulus component in mature sperm. so, it is hypothesized that genetic alterations of sept12 may be concerned in male infertility. objective: the objective of this research is exploration of new single nucleotide polymorphism g5508a in the sept12 gene association with idiopathic male infertility in iranian men. materials and methods: in this case control study, 67 infertile men and 100 normal controls were analyzed for genetic alterations in the active site coding region of sept12, using polymerase chain reaction sequencing technique. fisher exact test was used for statistical analysis and p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. results: genotype analysis indicated that g5508a polymorphic sept12 alleles were distributed in three peaks of frequency in both control and diseases groups. categorization of the alleles into (gg), (ga), (aa) types revealed a significant difference between infertile patients (azoospermic and asthenospermic) and normal controls (p=0.005). conclusion: according to our finding we suggest that g5508a polymorphism in sept12 gene can affect spermatogenesis in men, the opinion needs more investigation in different populations.

The research of the relationship between new single nucleotide polymorphism G5508A in the SEPT12 gene and azoospermia

The objective of the present study is to investigate the association between SEPT12 gene variation and the risk of azoospermia. In the current study, 100 infertile patients with azoospermia and 100 normal controls were analyzed for genetic alterations in the active site coding region of SEPT12, using PCRSequencing technique and mutational analysis. Genotype analysis indicated that G5508A polymo...

P-196: Association rs3819392 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism within The KIT Gene with Azoospermic Male Infertility

Background: Recent studies have shown that KIT is expressed in the cytoplasm of the spermatogonia, acrosomal granules and leydig cells. Reduction in KIT expression in oligozoospermia with an increase in the germ cell apoptosis process. Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified and these have been studied to discover KIT role in the male infertility. The aim of this study...

The 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...

A single-nucleotide polymorphism in C-type natriuretic peptide gene may be associated with hypertension.

We conducted an association study between genetic variants of C-type natriuretic peptide gene (CNP) and hypertension in a Japanese population. We found four genetic variants, two in the promoter region, one missense mutation, and one in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR), and genotyped all four variants in 2,006 subjects recruited from the Suita study. One of the variants, G2628A in 3'-UTR, wa...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in the Dopamine Receptor Type 3 (DOP3) Candidate Gene Associated with Varroa Destructor Resistance in Honeybee

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Varroa infestation is undoubtedly the greatest threat and challenge facing Apiculture today. This external parasite inevitably lives in the bee colony and causes irreparable damage to its colony and the subsequent honey production. One of the proposed strategies in this regard is the use of pesticides, which have a negative impact on the health of ...
