CAG repeat length analysis and mutation screening of the androgen receptor gene in Japanese men with idiopathic azoospermia.

Abstract excerpt

Because androgens are required for normal spermatogenesis, we are investigating abnormalities in the androgen receptor as a possible cause of impaired spermatogenesis in patients with idiopathic male infertility. The CAG repeat length in exon 1 and mutations of the androgen receptor gene were studied in 30 men with idiopathic azoospermia and in 51 fertile men. In men with azoospermia, plasma luteinizing hormone...
