Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A genetic variant within the FSHB gene can deviate FSH action on spermatogenesis. The c.-211G>T FSHB single nucleotide polymorphism impacts FSHB transcription and biosynthesis due to interference with the LHX3 transcription factor binding. This SNP was previously shown to be strongly associated with lowered testicular volume, reduced sperm counts, and decreased FSH levels in patients carrying one or...
