AIMS
The C677T allele of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene has been suggested to represent a risk factor for male infertility. To confirm this association, the distribution of the single-nucleotide polymorphism C677T was investigated in idiopathic infertile Algerian patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) or severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT). A case-control study was carried out, including 74 idiopathic infertile Algerian patients with NOA (n=46) or severe OAT (n=28) and 84 fertile men as controls. Polymorphism C677T was studied by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, and the results were statistically analyzed.
RESULTS
The frequency of genotypes MTHFR 677CC, 677CT, and 677TT in idiopathic infertile men with NOA was 43.48%, 41.30%, and 15.22%; 39.29%, 50%, and 10.71% regarding the severe oligozoospermic men; and 42.86%, 45.24%, and 11.90% in the control group.
CONCLUSIONS
The data suggest that the C677T MTHFR polymorphism is not a risk factor for idiopathic male subfertility in an Algerian population.
目的
亚甲基四氢叶酸还原酶（MTHFR）基因的C677T等位基因被认为是男性不育的一个风险因素。为了证实这种关联，我们调查了患有特发性非梗阻性无精子症（NOA）或严重少弱畸精子症（OAT）的阿尔及利亚不育患者中，单核苷酸多态性C677T的分布情况。开展了一项病例对照研究，纳入74名患有特发性不育的阿尔及利亚患者，其中46例为NOA患者，28例为严重OAT患者，另有84名有生育能力的男性作为对照。通过聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性研究C677T多态性，并对结果进行统计学分析。
结果
患有NOA的特发性不育男性中，MTHFR 677CC、677CT和677TT基因型的频率分别为43.48%、41.30%和15.22%；严重少精子症男性中分别为39.29%、50%和10.71%；对照组中分别为42.86%、45.24%和11.90%。
结论
数据表明，在阿尔及利亚人群中，C677T MTHFR多态性不是特发性男性生育力低下的风险因素。
