About male infertility
Infertility affects 8–12% of couples worldwide and a male factor contributes to nearly 50% of couples infertility1. Azoospermia factor (AZF) deletions of the Y chromosome are the second most recurrent genetic cause of male infertility2. Studies indicate an increased prevalence of male infertility due to a combination of older parents and pollution, with an increase in prevalence of male infertility of 76.9% between 1990 and 20193.
