Potential biomarkers tah could help to determine the prognosis of azoospermia treatment

ABSTRACT: We analyzed gene expression profiles of human testicular biopsies in men with idiopathic nonobstructive azoospermia who underwent therapy with hCG/rFSH. Using new generation oligonucleotide microarray platform GeneChip® Human Gene 1.0 ST, we identified genes which could be potential prognostic biomarkers of azoospermia treatment. We analyzed 6 testicular biopsy samples with Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays. 3 of them were obtained from patients with NOA, who positively responded to hormonal therapy and 3 non-respoders.
