Abstract:
Failure of spermatogenesis is the main clinical manifestation of male infertility. Multiple factors including genetic factors may affect spermatogenesis. Azoopermia factor (AZF) is closely involved in spermatogenesis. This paper reviews recent progress made in the study of AZF and its role in spermatogenesis and male infertility.
