A retrospective study investigating semen parameter profiles among male patients attending a fertility center in the UAE: Insights from a nationality perspective
Samples from UAE nationals displayed reduced sperm motility and normal morphology but increased TSC. While the underlying cause of these observed phenotypes was not investigated, it is worth noting that all the men including those from other nationalities resided in the UAE and were subjected to the same climate. Thus, other factors, such as ethnicity, may have primarily influenced the differences observed in these parameters, with genetic makeup also potentially contributing to these outcomes.
