Objective: To investigate the mutation of the DPY19L2 gene in patients with globozoospermia.
Methods: We collected the clinical data and peripheral blood from 2 patients with globozoospermia and screened for mutation of the DPY19L2 gene by PCR amplification and DNA sequencing technology.
Results: The sperm from the 2 globozoospermia patients were round morphologically under the light microscope, with deeply stained nuclei but no acrosome.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between microRNA-34b/c single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs4938723 and the risk of male infertility.
Methods: This case-control study included 553 males aged 19-40 (29.42 ± 5.
Objective: To investigate the association between the 5T site polymorphism of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene and the risk of congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD).
Methods: This case-control study included 40 male patients with isolated CBAVD in the experimental group and 104 healthy men as controls. We used the Sanger sequencing method to encode the CFTR gene intron 9 (TG) m-n(T) and type the haplotypes, followed by a review and meta-analysis of the data obtained from the experiment and relevant literature from the PubMed, Web of science, Medline, CNKI and an exploration of the correlation between 5T mutation and the risk of CBAVD.
