Infertility is a major health problem today, affecting about 15.0% of couples trying to have a child. Impaired fertility of the male is causative in 20.0% of infertile couples and contributory in up to another 30.0-40.0%. Infertility already affects about 5.0-7.0% of the general male population and may further increase in the future, considering the apparent trend of declining sperm count in in...

STUDY QUESTION What are the primary causes of severe male factor infertility? SUMMARY ANSWER Although 40% of all patients showed primary causes of infertility, which could be subdivided into three groups based on the severity of their effect, ~75% of oligozoospermia cases remained idiopathic. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY There are few large-scale epidemiological studies analyzing the causes of mal...

Abstract Background Infertility is a multifactorial health issue, with males accounting for half of the cases, part which appears to be idiopathic. Several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have explored role single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in idiopathic male infertility (IMI). However, considering inconsistent evidence, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed assess between ...

BACKGROUND Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a prevalent infection in humans. Recent studies have shown the role of CMV infection in male infertility disorder. AIM Here we aimed to study the role of CMV infection in men with idiopathic infertility. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a case-control study of CMV serology in 200 patients attending male infertility clinic of a university hospital. There...

PRMT6, PEX10 and SOX5 genetic variants were identified as male infertility-associated loci in a genome-wide association study further validated various populations. Still, the results of previous case-control studies varied, which could be due to differences participants? ethnic backgrounds. The main purpose present was evaluate supposed these with idiopathic infertility North Macedonian popula...

Infertility is a problem affecting an increasing number of couples worldwide. Currently, marker tests for male factor infertility are complex, highly technical and relatively subjective. Up to 40% cases currently diagnosed as idiopathic therefore, there clear need further research into better ways diagnosing it. Changes in sperm telomere length have been associated with closely linked DNA damag...

Infertility, considered as one of the main public health issues, affects about 10%-15% of the couples in reproductive age. Male factors are known to be responsible for 50% of all infertilities. It is well-established that the chromosomal abnormality is more prevalent in infertile men than in fertile men [1]. In developed countries, the incidence factor is considered to be less, when compared to...

Background: Our current knowledge of the epidemiology and the most common cause of infertility are limited and outdated in our geographic area. It is known that, one important cause of infertility is female factor. This study was done to investigate the incidence of female factor and the most common cause of female infertility in patients of Kermanshah infertility treatment center in Mo'ta...
