An integration of information from laboratory and epidemiological studies, male reproduction and teratology can be found throughout the volume. The range of topics include parental legacies and genomics, lifestyle, occupational and therapeutic paternal exposures and effects; effects on the gamete-packaging of human sperm; role of DNA repair and germ cell apoptosis; stem cells, epigenetics and closing; model systems and implications to clinicians and general counselors.Synopsis
Papers from a June 2001 conference, held in Montreal, Canada, identify new developments and directions in the research of male-mediated developmental toxicity, integrating information from laboratory and epidemiological studies, male reproduction, and teratology. The range of topics include parental legacies and genomics, occupational and therapeutic paternal exposures and effects, effects on the gamete- packaging of human sperm, the role of DNA repair and germ cell apoptosis, markers of sperm quality and relationship to progeny, and implications for clinicians and genetic counselors.
