Official title
A Non-invasive Method to Assess DNA Damage in Individual Sperm
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to find a non-invasive way to discover DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, which is the genetic material inside your cells) alterations in the sperm's head, in the near future leading us to choose the "good sperm" in a simplified manner. This could then increase chances of a successful in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment when there are sperm abnormalities.
