dc.description.abstractThe aim of the study was to investigate whether the promoter methylation of XRCC1 and ERCC2 genes is associated with sperm DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation in idiopathic oligoasthenoteratozoospermic men. This study involved 77 infertile men with idiopathic oligoasthenoteratozoospermia and 51 normozoospermic controls. The methylight method, TUNEL assay and aniline blue staining were used for the evaluation of XRCC1 and ERCC2 genes’ methylation, SDF and sperm chromatin condensation, respectively. SDF (p =.004) and XRCC1 methylation (p =.0056) were found to be significantly higher in men with idiopathic OAT than in the controls, while mature spermatozoa frequency was higher in controls as compared to infertile men (p <.0001). No significant association was found between SDF and methylation of XRCC1 and ERCC2 genes (p =.9277 and p =.8257, respectively).en_US
