Abstract excerpt

The human epididymal protease inhibitor (Eppin) gene is specifically expressed in testis and epididymis and is important in male reproduction. However, to date, there is no report on variants of this gene, particularly in relation to male fertility. To investigate the association between Eppin ge...
