[ 1 ] - O-42: Expansion of CAG Repeats in theSpinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1 (SCA1) Gene inIdiopathic Oligozoospermia Patients

Background: The lengths of CAG repeats in two spinocerebellar ataxia genes, SCA1 and SCA3, were analyzed to determine whether such repeats exist in higher numbers in infertile males. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from healthy controls, oligozoospermia patients, and azoospermia patients. DNA fragments containing target CAG repeats were amplified by PCR with template DNA pur...
