Abstract

We have analyzed the mitochondrial DNA of 34 oligoasthenozoospermic men along with 150 normozoospermic fertile men from the Indian subcontinent. A novel missense mutation (C11994T) in the ND4 gene, which replaces threonine with isoleucine, was observed in all of the oligoasthenozoospermic men but not in any of the normozoospermic fertile men.
