The Genetics of Male Fertility Research Study is in need of participants.
Infertility affects approximately 10 - 15% of American couples, and for most men the reason for their infertility is unknown. To help develop future diagnosis and treatment, we are enrolling men into a research study to discover genetic causes of infertility.
Why participate? We will provide early screening and comprehensive genetic testing for conditions that may affect male fertility or pregnancy outcomes at no cost to you. Your help will also give men struggling with infertility the chance for better diagnostics and therapies.
What’s involved? Allowing you to learn more about the study and obtaining your consent to participate will require a brief phone call or meeting with a member of our staff. We will also need a small blood sample or cheek swab from you as well.
Males over the age of 21 are eligible for the study.
If you are interested in learning more about this research study, please contact Dr. Alexander Yatsenko’s lab at (412) 641 – 3549 or MWRGeneticsLab@mwri.magee.edu
