Extracellular vesicle RNAs in semen for diagnosis and prediction
Molecular research in human samples
Library updated:
What was investigated and what was found?
Small RNA profiles in seminal extracellular vesicles were investigated for distinguishing obstructive from non-obstructive azoospermia and assessing residual sperm production.
Interpreting the findings
Discovery and validation samples were limited; this should not be regarded as an established clinical test.
How can you prepare for a consultation?
When discussing a biomarker publication, bring your existing hormone reports and any previous sperm retrieval results. Ask which patients were studied and how closely their circumstances resemble yours. An association involving AMH or another marker in a research group does not provide a certain prediction for an individual patient.
Let us begin with your diagnosis, previous findings and goals as a couple. You can request an initial consultation with Prof. Dr. Mehmet Çolakoğlu to discuss what this research means for your own situation.
Use this form to request an appointment, arrange an initial consultation or ask a general question. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Çolakoğlu’s team will contact you.
