Human spermatogenic failure purges deleterious mutation load from the autosomes and both sex chromosomes, including the gene DMRT1 [PDF]
Gonadal failure, along with early pregnancy loss and perinatal death, may be an important filter that limits the propagation of harmful mutations in the human population.

Abstract Background Current guidelines indicate that patients with extreme oligozoospermia or azoospermia should be tested for chromosomal imbalances, azoospermia factor (AZF) deletions and/or CFTR variants. For other sperm abnormalities, no genetic diagnostics are recommended.

Ultrasonographic Appearance of the Deferent Ducts in Dogs without Genitourinary Disease
ABSTRACT In veterinary medicine, deferent ducts are described as being visible on ultrasound only when pathologically enlarged. Abnormal ultrasonographic enlargement of the deferent ducts has primarily been described secondary to infectious and neoplastic diseases; however, no studies have evaluated the normal ultrasonographic features of these ...

Seminal bacterial composition in patients with obstructive and non‑obstructive azoospermia
A number of culture-dependent and -independent studies have reported that the number and significance of bacterial species in semen may have been underestimated. The aim of the present study was to profile the seminal microbiome in patients with obstructive or non-obstructive azoospermia.

HELQ Maintains Genome Stability of Primordial Germ Cells by Inhibiting LINE‐1 Expression
HELQ interacts with the histone demethylase KDM4B to maintain the level of H3K9me3 modification in the LINE‐1 region, thus inhibiting its expression and preserving genome stability. HELQ deficiency leads to elevated levels of KDM4B and reduces H3K9me3 modification, which increases LINE‐1 expression and subsequently genome instability in primordial germ

Surgical sperm retrieval: Techniques and their indications
Men with azoospermia can father a child through intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection if sperm can be retrieved from their epididymis or testis. Several percutaneous and open surgical procedures have been described to retrieve sperm.

Association of FSH Level with Spermatogenic Histology Based on Johnson Criteria in Azoospermic Patients [PDF]
The aims of this study is to know the association FSH level with spermatogenic histology on testical biopsy and to evaluate the use of FSH level as predictor of the succes of testical biopsy on azoospermic patient using Johnson criteria. This is a ...
