Changes in environmental exposures over decades may influence the genetic archi...
Cerván-Martín, Miriam; González-Muñoz, Sara; Guzmán-Jiménez, Andrea; Higueras-Serrano, Inmaculada; Castilla, José A.; Garrido, Nicolás; Luján, SaturninoStudy question: Do the genetic determinants of idiopathic severe spermatogenic failure (SPGF) differ between generations? Summary answer: Our data support that the genetic component of idiopathic SPGF is impacted by dynamic changes in environmental exposures over decades. What is known already: The idiopathic form of SPGF has a multifactorial etiology wherein an interaction between genetic, epigenetic, and envi...
Contribution of TEX15 genetic variants to the risk of developing severe non-obs...
Guzmán-Jiménez, Andrea; González-Muñoz, Sara; Cerván-Martín, Miriam; Rivera-Egea, Rocío; Garrido, Nicolás; Luján, Saturnino; Santos-Ribeiro, SamuelBackground: Severe spermatogenic failure (SPGF) represents one of the most relevant causes of male infertility. This pathological condition can lead to extreme abnormalities in the seminal sperm count, such as severe oligozoospermia (SO) or non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). Most cases of SPGF have an unknown aetiology, and it is known that this idiopathic form of male infertility represents a complex condition...
Common Variation in the PIN1 Locus Increases the Genetic Risk to Suffer from Se...
Cerván-Martín, Miriam; Bossini-Castillo, Lara; Guzmán-Jimenez, Andrea; Rivera-Egea, Rocío; Garrido, Nicolás; Luján, Saturnino; Romeu, GemaWe aimed to analyze the role of the common genetic variants located in the PIN1 locus, a relevant prolyl isomerase required to control the proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells and the integrity of the blood-testis barrier, in the genetic risk of developing male infertility due to a severe spermatogenic failure (SPGF). Genotyping was performed using TaqMan genotyping assays for three PIN1 taggers (rs228783...
New insight into the genetic contribution of common variants to the development...
Cerván-Martín, Miriam; Tüttelmann, Frank; Lopes, Alexandra; Castillo, Lara B.; Garrido, Nicolás; Luján, Saturnino; Castilla, José A.; Azoonomic, S.G.Study question: What is the contribution of the common genetic variation to the development of unexplained male infertility due to severe spermatogenic failure (SPGF)? Summary answer: Genetic polymorphisms of key immune and spermatogenesis loci are involved in the etiology of the most severe SPGF cases, defined by Sertoli cell-only (SCO) phenotype. What is known already: Male infertility is a rising worldwide c...
Effect and in silico characterization of genetic variants associated with sever...
Cerván‐Martín, Miriam; Bossini‐Castillo, Lara; Rivera‐Egea, Rocío; Garrido, Nicolás; Luján, Saturnino; Romeu, Gema; Santos‐Ribeiro, SamuelBackground: Severe spermatogenic failure (SpF) represents the most extreme manifestation of male infertility, as it decreases drastically the semen quality leading to either severe oligospermia (SO, <5 million spermatozoa/mL semen) or non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA, complete lack of spermatozoa in the ejaculate without obstructive causes). Objectives: The main objective of the present study is to analyze in t...
Intronic variation of the SOHLH2 gene confers risk to male reproductive impairment
Cerván-Martín, Miriam; Suazo-Sánchez, M. Irene; Rivera-Egea, Rocío; Garrido, Nicolás; Luján, Saturnino; Romeu, Gema; Santos-Ribeiro, SamuelObjective: To evaluate whether SOHLH2 intronic variation contributes to the genetic predisposition to male infertility traits, including severe oligospermia (SO) and different nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) clinical phenotypes. Design: Genetic association study. Setting: Not applicable. Patient(s): Five hundred five cases (455 infertile patients diagnosed with NOA and 50 with SO) and 1,050 healthy controls fr...
Evaluation of Male Fertility-Associated Loci in a European Population of Patien...
Cerván-Martín, Miriam; Bossini-Castillo, Lara; Rivera-Egea, Rocío; Garrido, Nicolás; Luján, Saturnino; Romeu, Gema; Santos-Ribeiro, SamuelInfertility is a growing concern in developed societies. Two extreme phenotypes of male infertility are non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and severe oligospermia (SO), which are characterized by severe spermatogenic failure (SpF). We designed a genetic association study comprising 725 Iberian infertile men as a consequence of SpF and 1058 unaffected controls to evaluate whether five single-nucleotide polymorphi...
