Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the heat shock protein 90 gene in varicocele-associated infertility

Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the heat shock protein 90 gene in varicocele-associated infertility

PURPOSE: Varicoceles are associated with impaired testicular function and male infertility, but the molecular mechanisms by which fertility is affected have not been satisfactorily explained. Spermatogenesis might be affected by increased scrotal temperature, such as that caused by varicocele. HSP90...
