Approximately 7% of men suffer from fertility problems, the etiology of which are ascribable
to a number of factors acting at pretesticular, posttesticular, or testicular levels. About 20% of …

Infertility affects about 7% of all men. The etiology of impaired sperm production and function
can be related to factors acting at pre-testicular, post-testicular or directly at the testicular …

Several diseases have been clinically or genetically related to cystic fibrosis (CF), but a
