Abstract excerpt
Background: Azoospermia is a risk factor for infertility affecting approximately 1% of the male population. Genetic factors are associated with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). Pygo2 and PRDM9 genes are involved in the spermatogenesis process. The present study aimed to assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the Pygo2 (rs61758740 and rs61758741) and PRDM9 (rs2973631 and rs1874165)...
