Abstract

Classical semen and sperm characteristic are poor predictors of outcome of Assisted Reproductive Treatment (ART). Sperm DNA Fragmentation (SDF) index has been generally confirmed as a valuable tool for male fertility evaluation and benefit as a predictor of ICSI and IVF outcome. In this mini-review study set out to the impact of these SDF on male fertility and ART outcomes. The findings of this study suggest that SDF is associated with male infertility and reduce the probability of a successful pregnancy following ART.
