Sperm DNA damage assessment: a test whose time has come

Ashok Agarwal et al. Fertil Steril. 2005 Oct.

Abstract

Multiple techniques have been developed to measure the amount of sperm DNA damage in an effort to identify more objective parameters for evaluation of infertile men. We now have evidence to support that integrity of sperm DNA influences a couple's fertility and helps predict the chances of pregnancy and its successful outcome. The available tests of sperm DNA damage require additional large-scale clinical trials before their integration into routine clinical practice.
