Abstract
The widespread use of medically assisted reproduction fosters the false impression that the underlying causes of male infertility are not important to know. However, to improve men’s reproductive and long-term health, as well as the health of their offspring, large-scale genetic studies are essential. Thus, reproductive genomics should be implemented in diagnostics as soon as possible. In this Comment, Veltman and Tüttelmann call on geneticists to further study male infertility and help to develop diagnostic strategies using state-of-the-art genomic approaches.
