Background: Various populations have been investigated for the occurrence of two key DAZL polymorphisms, 260A > G (rs11710967) and 386A > G (rs121918346), as well as complete DAZ cluster deletion, with conflicting results.
Objective: The purpose of the current meta-analysis was to investigate if there is an association between DAZL polymorphisms and complete deletion of the DAZ cluster gene with male infertility.
Methods: Up until September 2022, a thorough search was conducted in the Pubmed and Google scholar databases. For 260A > G polymorphism, 8 studies with 2077 cases and 1398 controls, 13 studies for 386A > G polymorphism (4343 cases and 3727 controls) and 17 studies of DAZ deletion (2820 cases and 1589 controls) were included in the pooled analysis. All of the studies were statistically analysed by Review Manager 5.4, and publication bias was evaluated with JASP 0.16.2.0 software utilising funnel plots and Egger's linear regression test.
Results: The meta analysis result for pooled data indicated no association between 260A > G and 386A > G polymorphisms and male infertility in any of the genetic models or ethnicities. However, there was a definite correlation between complete deletion of the DAZ gene cluster and male infertility, with an OR = 13.23, 95% confidence interval (6.63-26.39), and p < 0.00001. In the stratified analysis by ethnicity, Caucasians and Asian ethnic groups showed the similar relationship.
Conclusion: In order to arrive at more definitive conclusions, further study should be conducted, including studies from a larger range of nations and nationalities.

Objective: Almost half of infertility is related to male factors. Although the effect of genetic factors on male infertility is identified, about 30%-50% still has no proven cause and is classified as idiopathic infertility. This study was performed to investigate the correlation of some single nucleotide polymorphisms of PYGO2, DAZL, PRM1, and PRM2 genes with male infertility in idiopathic cases among the Iranian population.

The deleted in azoospermia-like () gene encoding an RNA binding protein is pivotal in gametogenesis in lots of species and also acts as a pre-meiosis marker. The current study was conducted to detect expression profiles and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of in sheep using qPCR, DNA-pooled sequencing, improved multiplex ligase detection reaction (iMLDR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) methods. The results confirmed that ovine showed the highest expression level at six-months of age across five developmental stage.

In this study, we investigated the association between six genetic polymorphisms ( C677T and A1298C, -94ins/del ATTG, 3'UTR A>G, A386G (T54A) and T3801C) and the risk of idiopathic male infertility in a Chinese population. A case-control study comprising 1,759 idiopathic male infertile patients of Han Chinese ethnicity and 1,826 healthy fertile control individuals was carried out. Genotypes of all polymorphisms were determined via PCR-RFLP.

Unlabelled: In living systems the most frequent type of genetic mutation is the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) or missense mutations arise in coding regions of a particular gene. nsSNPs result in a single amino acid substitution which may have effects on the structure and/or function of proteins.
