Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To assess the clinical value of bisulfite polymerase chain reaction Luminex (BPL), an automated, high-throughput procedure for the detection of alterations in DNA methylation. DESIGN:Experimental prospective study. SETTING:University research laboratory and private in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinic. PATIENT(S):A total of 337 men, 61 with severe oligozoospermia, 67 with moderate oligozoospermia, and 209 with microscopically normozoospermia. INTERVENTION(S):The ejaculated sperm samples after the routine semen analysis with patients' consent. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Examination of the methylation patterns of eight imprinted loci in sperm DNA, and confirmation with combined bisulfite PCR restriction analysis (COBRA). RESULT(S):A total of 47 cases (13.9%) showed abnormal methylation at one or more imprinted loci (18 paternal, 18 maternal, and 11 cases with alterations of both maternal and paternal imprints). CONCLUSION(S):The relative ease of the BPL method provides a practical method within a clinical setting to reduce the likelihood of abnormal samples being used in assisted reproduction treatments.
