Gene mutation may unlock L-Carnitine's power for sperm health
NCT ID NCT07402759
First seen Feb 15, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study looks at whether men with a specific gene change (TDRD9 mutation) get more benefit from L-carnitine, a common supplement, to improve sperm count and movement. About 50 men with low sperm count and motility will take L-carnitine for 3 months. Researchers will compare sperm changes between those with and without the gene mutation to see if genetics can guide personalized infertility treatment.
