Increased apoptosis in maturation arrest and hypospermatogenesis states compared to normal but obstructed spermatogenesis and Sertoli cell only were observed, indicating a prominent role for this form of programmed cell death in human male infertility.
Our powerful strategic analysis enabled the discovery of a novel candidate gene, PROX1, associated with WC in an Asian population.
