Is male infertility related to chromosomes or genetics?

Patient's question:

Patient Gender: Main Symptoms: Male Infertility and Chromosome Abnormalities Onset Time: Laboratory Test Results:

Doctor's answer:

Male infertility is not only related to its own pathological factors but also has a significant relationship with genetics. Sperm is a cell formed after the meiosis of somatic cells, containing half of the man's own genes. The female's egg also contains half of the female genes. After combination, there is a complete gene count. Each gene corresponds to an individual phenotype. For example, as everyone knows, the Y chromosome is the gene that determines male sex. Each chromosome contains many genes. If one of the genes is problematic, the traits determined by the combined genes after fertilization may have issues. This manifests in two ways: one is the congenital deformities that everyone knows, and the other is the inability to conceive and form a zygote. Therefore, when examining infertility, if pathological factors in the body are ruled out, a chromosome test should be performed. If there is a family history of genetic diseases, a gene test should be conducted to avoid causing congenital diseases in infants.
