Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: It has been suggested that subfertility and testicular cancer share genetic and environmental risk factors. We studied both subfertility and the strongest known testicular cancer susceptibility gene, the c-KIT ligand (KITLG), whose pathway is involved in spermatogenesis. METHODS: The EPSAM case-control study is comprised of testicular cancer patients from the Province of Turin, Italy,...
