Abstract

Major principles of genetic failures, chromosomal alterations and the most common syndromes associated with male subfertility should be taken into account before medical therapy and sophisticated techniques of assisted fertilization are applied to help a couple conceive. This review addresses the most common genetic reasons for male subfertility or infertility with special regard to the importance for the clinical work-up in daily routine and the potential risks for the conceptus.
