BACKGROUND: The human DAZ gene family includes two autosomal genes, BOULE and DAZL, and a Y-chromosomal DAZ gene cluster. All are RNA-binding proteins and assumed to be master regulators of germline gene expression. We have investigated the impact of two DAZL polymorphisms, located at nucleotide positions 260 (SNP 260) and 386 (SNP 386), on the fertility of Caucasian men. These single nucleotide polymorphisms...
