Objective:To research the relationship between the cyclic AMP-responsive element modulator (CREM) gene mutation and the idiopathic permatogenesis impairment in male infertility. Methods:The peripheral bloods were collected from 20 patients with azoospermia and 20 patients with serious oligospermia. The peripheral bloods of 20 volunteers with normal fertility were collected as control group. The CREM gene of patients with the idiopathic spermatogenesis impairment was detected by collecting the DNA of
the peripheral blood, PCR amplification and single-strand conformation polymorphism. Results:65% of the patients with azoospermia and 55% of the patients with serious oligospermia had the CREM gene mutation. Conclusion:CREM gene plays an important role in the process of sperm development for humans. CREM gene is involved in human spermatogenesis occurrence.
