No association found between gr/gr deletions and infertility in Brazilian males.
The Y chromosome carries several spermatogenesis genes distributed in three regions: AZFa, AZFb and AZFc. Microdeletions in these regions have been seen in 10% of sterile males with azoospermia or oligozoospermia, the most frequent of them being characterized by a complete deletion of AZFc region. A partial AZFc deletion named gr/gr has been singled out as a risk factor for spermatogenic failur...
متن کاملAssociation between methionine synthase reductase A66G polymorphism and primary infertility in Chinese males.
We examined the association between the methionine synthase reductase (MTRR A66G), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR C677T and A1298C), and methionine synthase (MS A2756G) genotypes and non-obstructive male infertility in a Chinese population. This case-control study included 162 infertile Chinese patients with azoospermia (N = 100) or oligoasthenozoospermia (N = 62) and 120 fertile me...
متن کاملAssociation between male infertility and androgen receptor mutations in Brazilian patients.
The androgen receptor is encoded by a single-copy gene located in the long arm of the X chromosome (Xq11-12); it consists of eight exons and encodes an intracellular transcription factor that belongs to the steroid/nuclear receptor superfamily. Disturbances in the function of the androgen receptor can lead to several forms of male pseudohermaphroditism, such as androgen insensitivity syndrome, ...
متن کاملNo association found between CYP2D6 genotype and early breast cancer events in tamoxifen-treated patients.
BACKGROUND CYP2D6 is considered the key enzyme in tamoxifen metabolism. Several studies have investigated the relationship between the CYP2D6 genotype and tamoxifen treatment outcome, with discrepant results. CYP2D6 inhibitor use, aromatase inhibitor use, and chemotherapy may account for some of the discrepancies. We examined the association between CYP2D6 genotype and early breast cancer event...
متن کاملAssociation between Thyroid Dysfunction and Male Infertility
There is a high prevalence of thyroid disorder in the general population. Both hypo and hyperthyroidism have been attributed to male and female sexual dysfunction. The role of thyroid disorders in female infertility has been firmly established, while their role in male infertility is yet to be clearly defined. hyperthyroidism causes alterations in the sex steroid hormone metabolism as well as...
