Spermatogenic failure

Definition:

Spermatogenic failure is reflected in a lower or absent production of spermatozoa and is described by routine semen analysis using terms such as azoospermia, oligozoospermia, teratozoospermia or asthenozoospermia. The genetic causes of spermatogenetic failure still remain largely unknown. It has been estimated that more than 2300 genes play a role in spermatogenesis.
