The widespread use of medically assisted reproduction fosters the false impression that the underlying causes of male infertility are not important to know. However, to improve men’s reproductive and long-term health, as well as the health of their offspring, large-scale genetic studies are essential. Thus, reproductive genomics should be implemented in diagnostics as soon as possible. In this Comment, Veltman and Tüttelmann call on geneticists to further study male infertility and help to develop diagnostic strategies using state-of-the-art genomic approaches.

为什么遗传学家应该关心男性不育症


医学辅助生殖的广泛使用助长了一种错误的印象，即了解男性不育的根本原因并不重要。然而，为了改善男性的生殖和长期健康，以及他们后代的健康，大规模的遗传研究是必不可少的。因此，应尽快在诊断中实施生殖基因组学。在这篇评论中，Veltman 和 Tüttelmann 呼吁遗传学家进一步研究男性不育症，并帮助使用最先进的基因组方法制定诊断策略。
