Research article (journal) | Peer reviewedAbstract
The number of diagnostic genes in crypto-/azoospermia was almost doubled to 21 using exome-based analyses and clinical guidelines. Application of this procedure in routine diagnostics will significantly improve the diagnostic yield and clinical workup as the results indicate the success rate of testicular sperm extraction.
