[ 1 ] - P-70: Study of GTn-Repeat Expansion in Heme Oxygenase-1 Gene Promoter As Genetic Cause of Male Infertility

Background: The length of GT-repeats polymorphic region in the promoter of human Heme oxygenase-1 gene (HO-1) alters the level of its transcriptional activity in response to oxidative stresses. Decreased level of HO-1 protein in the seminal plasma has been reported to be associated with oligospermia and azoospermia in male infertility. This is the first study to investigate the association betw...

[ 2 ] - P-207: Study of Relationship among Six SNPs in PRM1, PRM2 and TNP2 Genes and Idiopathic Azoospermia in Iranian Infertile Men

Background: Histones are replaced by protamines to condensate and package DNA into the sperm head during mammalian spermatogenesis. Protamine genes defects have been reported to cause sperm DNA damage and male infertility. In this study relationship among some protamines genes family SNPs include PRM1 (C321A), PRM2 (C248T) and TNP2 (T1019C), (G1272C), (G del in 1036 and 1046 bp) were studied in...
