Abstract
The aim of this study was to find out whether C282Y and H63D mutations in the hemochromatosis (HFE) gene are associated with male infertility and whether the prevalence of the HFE mutations is higher in a group of 262 infertile men in comparison to 200 fertile men. Because the C282Y and H63D HFE gene distributions in infertile men were not significantly different from fertile controls, our data suggest that the C282Y and H63D HFE gene mutations are not risk factors for male infertility and are not associated with clinical manifestations of male infertility.Entities:
