NCT01461395 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 84

Last updated 2012-08-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to find a non-invasive way to discover DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, which is the genetic material inside your cells) alterations in the sperm's head, in the near future leading us to choose the "good sperm" in a simplified manner. This could then increase chances of a successful in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment when there are sperm abnormalities.
