摘要
Defective spermatogenesis can be the end result of a multitude of causes, such as systemic disease, malnutrition, endocrinologic disorder, genetic defects, anatomic obstruction of the passage of spermatozoa, infections, and environmental toxins. A genetic basis of infertility is thought to exist in a majority of infertile men currently classified as having idiopathic infertility Despite advances in molecular technology, the pathophysiology of spermatogenic failure in a majority of infertile men remains unknown. Although a large number of genes and loci in experimental animals are associated with sterility, the human homologues of most of these genes have not been cloned yet. Infertility is a heterogeneous syndrome in men; therefore, it is likely that a multitude of genes and loci will be implicated in different infertility subsets.
