Scientists from the University of Tartu have found that infertility men have a higher genetic predisposition to cancer than fruitful men. The results of the study were published in the Human Reproduction Open (Hro) magazine.
According to scientists, every tenth man suffers from subnard or infertility, which is an independent risk factor for several chronic diseases. According to the junior researcher at the University of Tartu, previous studies have shown that low-spermal men have a higher risk of cancer development in their lives.
In case of men's fertility disorders, scientists have conducted a study to confirm the potential genetic predisposition to cancer, which took part in 500 men. Samples of biological material were taken from the tests to assess the activity of 150 genes related to cancer. The results showed that infertility men had about five times more genetic options in their genes, related to "hereditary" cancer.
Researchers have calculated that there are genetic predisposition to cancer with 64 fruitful men in each of the infertility. They also found out that some patients had already been diagnosed with cancer during the study, and some had a family history of the disease.
