Overview
The objective of this research is to build a biobank of biological male specimens used for diagnostics and treatment of infertility or assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
Detailed description
The objective of this research is to build a biobank of biological male specimens used for diagnostics and treatment of infertility or assisted reproductive technologies (ART). These specimens include testicular tissue, sperm, semen samples, donor sperm or discarded sperm preps. These samples were possibly utilized for diagnostic testing such as semen analyses or DNA fragmentation testing or for ART procedures such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) in-vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and are no longer needed clinically. Rather than discarding those samples the men who provided them or the sperm recipient in the case of donor sperm may elect to donate them for future research purposes. These samples will be used for future research regarding male infertility and assisted reproductive technologies.
Primary outcome measures
