ABSTRACT
Evolving therapies have allowed the use of sperm from men with spermatogenic compromise, obstructive azoospermia, and sperm functional deficiency, enabling these men to procreate when unable to do so naturally. The genetic basis of only a portion of these conditions is known and research must be pursued into the genetic underpinnings of those that have not yet been delineated. Education and provision of information to patients is the responsibility of all involved in the care of men with reproductive failure. The author concentrates on some of the known causes of nonobstructive azoospermia and obstructive azoospermia with a well-established genetic cause such as congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens.
