Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Infertility is defined as the inability to become pregnant within one year of unprotected sexual intercourse. Approximately 7% of the male population is affected, which explains the infertility in half of all affected couples. The etiology of male infertility is very complex, and at least 15% of all infertile men show genetic abnormalities. The critical causes of male infertility include sexual differentiation, genitourinary system development, and gametogenesis. Sex chromosome abnormalities play an important role in severe impairments of spermatogenesis, and at least 2,000 genes are involved in spermatogenesis. Nearly a quarter of the known genetic factors contributing to male infertility result in azoospermia. Autosomal gene mutations mainly cause central hypogonadism, teratozoospermia or asthenozoospermia, congenital obstructive azoospermia, and familial cases of quantitative spermatogenesis disorders. Genetic diagnoses begin with karyotyping, deletion analysis of azoospermia factor (AZF) and mutation analysis in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Currently, molecular genetic diagnosis can be confirmed in approximately 5% of infertile men using a more comprehensive gene panel. An inconspicuous genetic finding does not imply exclusion of the suspected clinical diagnosis.
