We should not underestimate the importance of the male factor in reproduction and therefore, a test like this, which allows men to obtain an early diagnosis with a high degree of reliability in the comfort of their own home, is a breakthrough, and an advanced age is also a factor that influences the male fertility”. \u003cstrong\u003eDr. Marcos Meseguer Escrivá, IVF Scientist Supervisor, Fertility Clinic IVI, Valencia, Spain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I think it potentially is going to go a long way.
