Abstract excerpt

Varicocele (VC) is a most common risk factor of male infertility and its etiology, however, remains rarely explored. Some researchers reported the genetic predisposition of VC, showing that its prevalence was 3－8 times higher in the first-degree relatives of the patients than in the controls. Studies on the genetic characteristics of VC are relatively rare, only a few relating its association with single...
