✓ Effective azoospermia test in seminal plasma to avoid unnecessary biopsies.
Details of the Technology Offer
Until now, there is no test with clinical utility to classify the origin of the sperm defects in semen and the spermatogenic reserve of the testis, determinant conditions for an assisted reproductive treatment in those men with no sperm in their ejaculate or azoospermia.
The present invention is focused on the evaluation and assessment of the expression levels of miRNAs contained in exosomes from semen in severe spermatogenic disorders and obstructive azoospermic men. This group of miRNAs could be used as non-invasive biomarkers that contribute in the diagnosis of the origin of azoospermia. Additionally, several miRNAs could be used as noninvasive biomarkers to predict the presence of spermatozoa in secretory azoospermia in order to avoid unnecessary biopsies
This group of miRNAs could be used as noninvasive biomarkers that contribute in the diagnosis of the origin of azoospermia. Those azoospermic cases predicted to be originated from an obstruction of the genitourinary tract have many chances to obtain sperm from the testicular biopsy for the assited reproduction treatment. Additionally, several miRNAs could be used as noninvasive biomarkers to predict the presence of spermatozoa in secretory azoospermia in order to avoid unnecessary biopsies.
