GENTIS is honored to have provided the andrology testing data for Mai Ba Tien Dung, M.D, PhD's article on "Updates on male infertility and the role of genetics."
In the Assisted Reproductive Technology session, Mai Ba Tien Dung M.D, PhD (Head of Andrology Department at Binh Dan Hospital in HCM city), presented his research on "Updates on male infertility and the role of genetics," which was highly regarded by experts. GENTIS is proud to have provided the andrology testing data for this research.
Mai Ba Tien Dung M.D, PhD shared, according to the WHO, infertility is defined as the inability of a couple to conceive after one year of regular unprotected intercourse (for women under 35) or six months (for women aged 35 and over). Approximately 1 in 6 couples worldwide experience infertility at some point in their lives. Male infertility accounts for about 40-50% of infertility cases and affects 2.5-12% of men. In Vietnam, the infertility rate among young couples is currently 7.7%. Of these, primary infertility accounts for 3.9% and secondary infertility for 3.8% (Ministry of Health, 2019).
Chromosomal abnormalities have been linked to male infertility since the 1990s. It is estimated that 15-30% of male infertility cases are associated with chromosomal abnormalities. These abnormalities can affect sperm production, shape, and motility, as well as hormone levels and physical appearance. Additionally, chromosomal aneuploidies in sperm (such as trisomy 13, 18, 21, X, and Y) can lead to recurrent miscarriages, fetal abnormalities, and infertility in the next generation. Therefore, genetic testing is essential for diagnosing the causes of male infertility and is highly valued by healthcare professionals in the evaluation and treatment of infertile couples.
The scientific presentations delivered by the speakers at the conference were highly commended by experts.
