PurposeRecently, genome-wide association studies of a Hutterite population in the USA revealed that five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with a significant association with sperm quality and/or function in ethnically diverse men from Chicago were significantly correlated with family size. Of these, three SNPs (rs7867029, rs7174015, and rs12870438) were found to be significantly associated with the risk of azoospermia and/or oligozoospermia in a Japanese population. In this study, we investigated whether the rs10966811 (located in an intergenic region between theTUSC1andIZUMO3genes) and rs10129954 (located in theDPF3gene) SNPs, previously related to family size, are associated with male infertility. In addition, we performed association analysis between rs12348 inTUSC1and rs2772579 inIZUMO3and male infertility.MethodsWe genotyped 145 patients with infertility (including 83 patients with azoospermia and 62 with oligozoospermia) and 713 fertile controls by PCR-RFLP technique for polymorphism. Because rs10966811 has no restriction sites, the SNP rs12376894 with strong linkage disequilibrium was selected as an alternative to rs10966811.ResultsThere was a statistically significant association between rs12376894 proxy SNP of rs10966811 and oligozoospermia. Also, a statistically significant association between rs10129954 and azoospermia, and oligozoospermia was observed. When we assessed the relationship between rs12348 inTUSC1and rs2772579 inIZUMO3and male infertility traits, we found that rs12348 inTUSC1was significantly associated with azoospermia and oligozoospermia, but rs2772579 inIZUMO3was not associated with male infertility.ConclusionWe found that the polymorphisms inTUSC1andDPF3displayed strong associations with male infertility.
