Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify CpG sites differentially methylated in peripheral blood of men with idiopathic infertility due to impaired spermatogenesis as compared with fertile controls. DESIGN: DNA methylation profiling on peripheral blood samples using the HumanMethylation450 BeadChip (Illumina) in patients and controls, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing by Sanger sequencing. SETTING: University institute...
