Abstract Background WFS1 spectrum disorder, also known as Wolfram syndrome (WS) is an ultra‐rare (<1:500,000; ORPHA: 3463) monogenic (OMIM #222300) progressive neuroendocrine and neurodegenerative disorder, characterised by early‐onset insulin‐dependent diabetes, optic atrophy, central diabetes insipidus and sensi‐neuronal deafness.

Differentiation between nonobstructive azoospermia and obstructive azoospermia: then and now
Male infertility has seen an increase in prevalence with cases of azoospermia estimated to affect 10%–15% of infertile men. Confirmation of azoospermia subsequently necessitates an early causal differentiation between obstructive azoospermia (OA) and nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA). Although less common when compared to NOA, OA can represent upward 20%

Pharmacogenetics of follicle‐stimulating hormone action in the male
Abstract Male factor infertility (MFI) is involved in half of the cases of couple infertility. The follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) therapy is considered efficient to improve semen parameters and pregnancy rate in patients with idiopathic MFI, following the lesson learned from hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Paternal ischemic heart disease and chance of successful pregnancy outcomes
Abstract Background Only approximately 30% of conceptions result in live births. Historically, research has predominantly focused on maternal factors impacting pregnancy success, despite the cause remaining unidentified in most cases. The influence of paternal factors on a couple's likelihood of achieving a successful pregnancy is still not well ...

The role of iron in normal and impaired testicular function
Abstract Iron plays a critical role in testicular physiology, impacting spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and overall testicular function. Iron homeostasis is maintained through systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms, including hepcidin‐mediated systemic iron control and the iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein (IRE/IRP) system ...

Abstract Background Varicocoele is a common cause of male infertility, affecting spermatogenesis through increased testicular temperature, venous stasis, and oxidative stress. Microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy improves semen quality, whereas intrauterine insemination is widely used for mild male factor infertility.

Aarskog Syndrome: Deep Phenotyping and Genomic Landscape of a New Cohort Including Adult Patients
This study presents the deep phenotyping data of 14 new Aarskog‐Scott syndrome patients with molecular confirmation. ABSTRACT Aarskog‐Scott syndrome (AAS, MIM#305400) is an X‐linked disorder characterized by recognizable facial features, short stature, and genitourinary and skeletal malformations.

TRAPPC2l Participates in Male Germ Cell Development by Regulating Cell Division
Trappc2l is crucial for maintaining the quiescent state of male gonocytes. In the absence of Trappc2l, the quiescent state of gonocytes is disrupted, leading to premature and abnormal initiation of meiosis, which consequently results in subsequent abnormalities in sperm development. ABSTRACT TRAPPC2L is a core subunit of the Transport Protein Particle (

Epigenetics of nonobstructive azoospermia
Nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) is a severe and heterogeneous form of male factor infertility caused by dysfunction of spermatogenesis. Although various factors are well defined in the disruption of spermatogenesis, not all aspects due to the heterogeneity of the disorder have been determined yet.
