P-206: Mov10l1 Gene Polymorphisms Are Probably Associated to Male Infertility in Azoospermic Men with Complete Maturation Arrest
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Thousands of genes are involved in spermatogenesis. Alterations in any of these genes could lead to male infertility. Moloney leukemia virus 10-Like 1 (Mov10l1) gene is one of the genes that are expressed specifically in germ cells. Genetic disruption of this gene in mouse stops spermatogenesis during Meiosis I and causes azoospermia. Materials and Methods: In this study, the genetic changes of mov10L1 gene, analyzed in a population of 30 infertile patients with a complete maturation arrest in spermatocyte level as the patient group and 70 fertile men who had at least one child as the control group. After DNA extraction from blood samples of selected individuals, PCR-SSCP method was done to verify presence of any polymorphisms/mutations. Ultimately sequencing was used to confirm genetic changes of the mentioned gene. Results: As a result, eight single nucleotide transitions were identified, including; a missense (rs2272837) and four nonsense polymorphisms (rs2272836, rs11704548, rs2272838, rs138271) in the exonic sequences and 3 polymorphisms (rs12170772, rs2272840, rs17248147) in the intronic regions. All these have been registered as single nucleotide polymorphisms in NCBI-SNP database. Except rs2272838, a statistically significant association was shown in all polymorphisms between two groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results, it is expected that mutations and polymorphisms in mov10L1 gene could be a genetic factor in the incidence of infertility in men which requires further studies.

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...

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders, affecting 5-10% of reproductive aged women. High levels of androgen hormone can be accounted as the most important symptoms in PCOS. Androgen is the precursor of steroid biosynthesis in ovary. The transport of cholesterol to the inner mitochondrial membrane through StAR protein is also necessary for andr...

Prior studies suggested sperm with damaged DNA permits fertilization but may lead to failure of embryo implantation following blastocyst formation. Quantitative correlations between DNA damage and risk of implantation failure have, however, so far not been performed. The aim of this study was to investigate two FSHR gene polymorphisms G919A (Ala307Thr) and A2039G (Asn680Ser) in Eastern Ukrainia...
full textAssociation of Two Polymorphisms in H2B.W Gene with Azoospermia and Severe Oligozoospermia in An Iranian Population
Background During spermatogenesis, the H2B family, member W (H2B.W) gene, encodes a testis specific histone that is co-localized with telomeric sequences and has the potential role to mediate the sperm-specific chromatin remodeling. Previously H2B.W genetic variants were reported to be involved in susceptibility to spermatogenesis impairment. In the present study, two single nucleotide polymorp...
full textSUBMICROSCOPIC DELETIONS OF THE Y CHROMOSOME ARE NOT LIMITED TO AZOOSPERMIC MEN, BUT ARE ALSO DETECTED IN INFERTILE MEN WITH IDIOPATHIC OLIGOZOOSPERMIA
It is now agreed that 10-25% of infertile men with azoospermia have submicroscopic deletions of the Y chromosome long ann (yq), consistent with the proposed location of the azoospermia locus (AZF) in Yq 11.23. However, it is not known whether Yq microdeletions are unique to men with azoospermia or whether they are also observed in infertile men with less severe defects of spermatogenesis (o...
