Infertility affects an estimated 15% of couples globally and in Iran, a quarter of cou-ples experiences primary infertility. Males are found to be individually responsible for 20-30% of infertility cases and contribute to 50% of cases totally. When assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) are used to acquire pregnancy, a sufficient (epi) genetic diagnosis of male infertility (MI) is of main matter to consider if a genetic abnormality will be transmit-ted to offspring. Infertility cen-ters together with Infertility research centers had been founded since 1994 in Iran and many arti-cles from research projects have been published. |
