Genetic study for unexplained infertility in men and women
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study aims to find genetic causes of certain types of infertility in men and women. If you have been diagnosed with very low sperm count, no sperm, or early ovarian failure, researchers will look at your DNA to discover new genes that might be responsible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult man or woman of childbearing age.
- You have been diagnosed with non-obstructive azoospermia (very low or no sperm), low sperm count, or primary ovarian insufficiency (early loss of ovarian function).
- You are generally healthy, and there is no known medical reason for your infertility.
- You are not currently taking medications like chemotherapy that could cause infertility.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study uses a special ultrasound to look at the testicles of men who have no sperm in their semen. It helps doctors understand how well this ultrasound can find sperm, which may help men with fertility problems.
This trial looks at whether gut bacteria (microbiome) and lifestyle factors are linked to poor sperm production or sperm quality. You may be asked for stool, urine, and blood samples and to complete questionnaires about diet and habits to help researchers understand possible connections.
This study looks at DNA changes to understand the cause of premature ovarian insufficiency (early menopause). It may help clarify what’s happening in your body and guide future care.
This study tests two medicines—isotretinoin and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)—to see if they can improve sperm production in men with low sperm counts or no sperm due to certain causes. It might help if you haven't responded to other treatments before.
This study is investigating a specific genetic mutation in the MT-ND1 gene that can be passed from mother to son and may cause sperm production problems. It compares men with severe sperm issues to those with normal sperm production to understand the genetic cause.
This research study looks at genetic differences in women who have experienced early menopause or severe irregular periods before age 40, with no known cause. By comparing your genes to women with normal menstrual cycles, researchers hope to understand what causes this condition and potentially develop better treatments.
