Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Is the presence of ESX1 mRNA in seminal fluid (SF) an indicator of residual spermatogenesis in men with non-obstructive azoospermic (NOA)? SUMMARY ANSWER: ESX1 mRNA in SF is a suitable molecular marker for predicting the presence of residual spermatogenesis in testis. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: ESX1 is an X-linked homeobox gene whose expression in testis is restricted to germ cells. We previously...
