Popis: To investigate the relationship between microRNA-34b/c single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs4938723 and the risk of male infertility.This case-control study included 553 males aged 19-40 (29.42 ± 5.09) years with idiopathic infertility, 153 with azoospermia and 400 with oligoasthenospermia, and another 332 normal fertile men aged 19-40 (28.5 4 ± 4.63) years as controls. We collected the clinical data and peripheral blood samples from the subjects, genotyped microRNA-34b/c rs4938723 by Sequenom MassARRAY, and analyzed the relationship between the genotypes of microRNA-34b/c rs4938723 and the risk of male infertility using the logistic regression model.Statistically significant differences were observed between the infertility patients and normal controls in sperm concentration ([18.71 ± 15.19] vs [79.91 ± 43.96] × 10⁶/ml, P0.01), the percentage of progressively motile sperm ([13.27 ± 24.52]% vs [42.82 ± 8.86]%, P0.01) and the level of follicle stimulating hormone ([16.09 ± 17.37] vs [12.20 ± 4.73] IU/L, P0.01). Compared with the TT genotype, the TC and CC genotypes showed no correlation with male infertility, nor did the genetic locus in the subgroup analysis.No correlation was found between microRNA-34b/c SNP rs4938723 and male infertility, which, however, needs to be further verified by larger-sized samples.
