Researchers identify gene responsible for some cases of male infertility
(Wiley) In about one-sixth of the cases of male infertility, men do not make any measurable levels of sperm, a condition called azoospermia. New research led by University of Pennsylvania scientists suggests that mutations in an X chromosome gene called TEX11 are responsible for about 1 percent of azoospermia cases.

Penn team identifies gene responsible for some cases of male infertility
(University of Pennsylvania) Oftentimes men with a type of infertility called azoospermia don't know the underlying cause of their condition. But new research led by University of Pennsylvania scientists suggests that mutations in an X chromosome gene called TEX11 are responsible for a significant number of cases of infertility -- an estimated 1 percent of cases of non-obstructive azoospermia.

Men Who Can't Produce Sperm Face Increased Cancer Risk, Stanford-Led Study Finds
Men who are diagnosed as azoospermic - infertile because of an absence of sperm in their ejaculate - are more prone to developing cancer than the general population, a study led by a Stanford University School of Medicine urologist has found. And a diagnosis of azoospermia before age 30 carries an eight-fold cancer risk, the study says... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

Low Sperm Linked To Cancer Risk
Men who have no sperm have a higher risk of developing cancer than other males, researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine reported in Fertility and Sterility (June 20th, 2013 issue). When a man has no measurable level of sperm in his semen he has azoospermia, he is azoospermic. Fertility experts estimate that approximately 1% of men are azoospermic, and that about 20% of male infertility problems are because of azoospermia... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)
