Official Title: The Paternal Clock: Uncovering the Consequences of Advanced Paternal Age on Sperm DNA Fragmentation
Brief Summary:
Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) serves as a marker for chromatin and DNA damage in sperm.Assessing sperm DNA integrity is crucial in male fertility evaluation since high levels of SDF are associated with a greater number of adverse reproductive outcomes, including an increased risk of miscarriage and birth defects.Recent research suggests that advanced paternal age (APA) may lead to DNA damage in sperm, however the precise age at which this risk becomes apparent has not yet been clearly defined, necessitating the…
