NCT ID NCT02006446
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 200 men with sperm abnormalities to see if vacuoles (tiny holes) in the sperm head are linked to DNA damage. Researchers used high-powered microscopes and genetic tests to measure vacuole size and chromosome errors. The goal is to help doctors pick healthier sperm for fertility treatments.
