USP26 gene variations in fertile and infertile men.
BACKGROUND The human X chromosome is enriched with testis-specific genes that may be crucial for male fertility. One is the ubiquitin-specific protease 26 (USP26). Five frequent mutations have been identified: 1737G>A, 1090C > T, 370-371insACA, 494T > C and 1423C>T (with the latter three usually detected in a cluster). Their role in infertility is still controversial. This study assesses the as...
متن کاملthe frequency of follicle stimulating hormone receptor gene polymorphisms in iranian infertile men with azoospermia
background: azoospermia is the medical condition of a man not having any measurable level of sperm in his semen. follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) is a member of the glycoprotein hormone family that plays an important role in human reproduction because of its essential role in normal spermatogenesis. various single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) have been reported within fsh receptor (fshr) g...
متن کاملSperm morphology, motility, and concentration in fertile and infertile men.
BACKGROUND Although semen analysis is routinely used to evaluate the male partner in infertile couples, sperm measurements that discriminate between fertile and infertile men are not well defined. METHODS We evaluated two semen specimens from each of the male partners in 765 infertile couples and 696 fertile couples at nine sites. The female partners in the infertile couples had normal result...
متن کاملStudy of Body Image in Fertile and Infertile Men
BACKGROUND Body Image as a multidimensional entity is related to both physical and psychological aspects of the image one has of his or her own body. Lack/absence of an acceptable body image is one of the reasons of mental distress in infertile individuals. METHODS In this study, an equal number (No=120) of fertile and infertile men attending Avicenna Infertility Clinic (AIC) were enrolled. T...
متن کاملExposure to Endocrine Disrupters and Nuclear Receptor Gene Expression in Infertile and Fertile Women from Different Italian Areas
Within the PREVIENI project, infertile and fertile women were enrolled from metropolitan, urban and rural Italian areas. Blood/serum levels of several endocrine disrupters (EDs) (perfluorooctane sulfonate, PFOS; perfluorooctanoic acid, PFOA; di-2-ethylhexyl-phthalate, DEHP; mono-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate, MEHP; bisphenol A, BPA) were evaluated concurrently with nuclear receptors (NRs) gene expre...
