Seminal Levels of PGK2 and ACRV1 as Predictors of Micro-TESE Results in NOA

March 6, 2024 updated by: Muhammad Yousef Muhammad Swifee, Assiut University
  • Measurement of PGK2 and ACRV1 levels in the semen of infertile males undergoing testicular sperm extraction (TESE).
  • Correlate seminal levels of PGK2 and ACRV1 with sperm retrieval results and histopathology analysis of testicular biopsy samples.
