Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oligozoospermia is one of the severe forms of idiopathic male infertility. However, its pathology is largely unknown, and few genetic factors have been defined. Our previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) has identified four risk loci for non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potentially functional genetic variants (including not only common variants, but also...
