Abstract excerpt

Non-obstructive azoospermia is a male infertility characterized by no or little sperm in semen as a result of a congenital dysfunction in spermatogenesis. Previous studies have reported a higher prevalence of particular human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antigens in non-obstructive azoospermia. As the expression of the RING3 gene located in the HLA class II region was predominant in the testis, mainly around...
