Can Altered Expression of HSPA2 in Varicocele Patients Lead to Abnormal Spermatogenesis?
2010-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Background Heat shock protein A2 (HSPA2) is correlated with sperm maturity and function. Therefore, dysfunctional expression of this gene results in abnormal spermatogenesis. On the other hand, DNA damage in spermatozoa is considered to be an important cause of male infertility, and the presence of sperm with DNA fragmentation and chromatin abnormalities in human ejaculates is well documented, in particular in men...
