Racial differences in male fertility parameters in 2,996 men examined for infertility in a single center
Our results show not only significant racial differences for many of the parameters investigated but also for the incidence of normal values. Therefore, it might be prudent to revisit the concept of globally standardized reference values for all men. Yet, as a limitation, the small number (53) of Caucasian men needs to be mentioned. Larger studies that include functional sperm parameters need to be conducted.
