Бесплодие у мужчин представляет собой актуальную проблему современной андрологии и встречается в 45 % бесплодных браков. Часть случаев бесплодия у мужчин обусловлена генетическими причинами: точковыми мутациями при ряде моногенных заболеваний, делециями локуса AZF или сочетанием мутаций CFTR; сниженная фертильность ассоциирована также с полиморфными вариантами генов AR и GSTT1/GSTM1. Вместе с тем публикуют все больше данных о роли эпигенетических механизмов в виде аберрантного метилирования и нарушения импринтинга в патологии сперматогенеза.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p> Материалы и методы. В настоящей работе нами исследованы 49 образцов ДНК, полученных из образцов спермы неродственных мужчин с бесплодием, с помощью полимеразной цепной реакции, фрагментного анализа и секвенирования.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Из первоначальной когорты исключены 5 пациентов: 1 – с длиной повтора 29 (CAG) в экзоне 1 AR, 3 – с нулевыми генотипами по генам GSTT1 и GSTM1, 1 – компаунд гетерозигота delF508/5T по гену CFTR. После этого с помощью метилспецифической полимеразной цепной реакции и бисульфитного секвенирования было определено метилирование импринтированного гена SNRPN. Показано, что аберрантное метилирование SNRPN встречается в 11,4 % случаев мужского бесплодия. Суммарно молекулярно-генетические и эпигенетические нарушения были выявлены у 20 % пациентов.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Полученные данные демонстрируют значительную долю (эпи)генетических нарушений в гетерогенной выборке мужчин со сниженной фертильностью. </p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Introduction</title><p>Introduction. Male infertility is a common problem in andrology and occurs in 45 % of infertile couples. Some cases of male infertility caused by genetic reasons: point mutations at some monogenic diseases, AZF deletions or a CFTR mutation compounds; reduced fertility is also associated with polymorphic variants of the genes AR and GSTT1/GSTM1. At the same time, increasing amount of data are being published about the role of epigenetic mechanisms (aberrant methylation and imprinting alterations) in defective spermatogenesis.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. We have studied 49 sperm samples obtained from unrelated infertile men using polymerase chain reaction, fragment analysis, and sequencing.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Five patients were excluded from the initial cohort: one with a repeat length of 29 (CAG) in the first exon  of the AR, three with null genotypes in the GSTT1 and GSTM1, and one with the delF508/5T heterozygous compound in the CFTR. Thereafter, methylation of the imprinted gene SNRPN was determined using methyl-specific polymerase chain reaction and bisulfite sequencing. Aberrant SNRPN methylation was detected in 11.4 % of male infertility samples. In total, molecular genetic and epigenetic alterations were determined in 20 % of patients.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>Conclusions. Obtained data demonstrate a significant proportion of (epi)genetic disorders in a heterogeneous cohort of men with reduced fertility. </p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>мужское бесплодие</kwd><kwd>метилирование ДНК</kwd><kwd>импринтинг</kwd><kwd>делеции AZF</kwd><kwd>мутации CFTR</kwd><kwd>полиморфизмы AR</kwd><kwd>GSTM1 и GSTT1</kwd><kwd>секвенирование</kwd><kwd>ПЦР</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>male infertility</kwd><kwd>DNA methylation</kwd><kwd>imprinting</kwd><kwd>AZF deletions</kwd><kwd>CFTR mutations</kwd><kwd>polymorphisms of the AR</kwd><kwd>GSTM1 and GSTT1</kwd><kwd>sequencing</kwd><kwd>PCR</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Чалый М.Е., Ахвледиани Н.Д., Харчилава Р.Р.
