The Genetics of Male Infertility

Book Overview

Providing a review of our current understanding of the genetic causes of male infertility, The Genetics of Male Infertility serves as a guide to evidence-based clinical applications and offers a preview of future possibilities. In this book, twenty-one researchers and clinicians review the study of the genetics of male infertility, the tools available in the laboratory and clinic, the current state of knowledge, and the future of research and translation into clinical diagnostics and treatments. This volume gives special attention to the significant technological advances in the treatment of male infertility, including intracytoplasmic injection (ICSI) in conjunction with in vitro fertilization (IVF). In addition, it discusses new tools, including in vitro methodologies, in silico technologies, and new model organisms.
