[Do family events play a part in male infertility?].
The object of this study is the family history of a set of infertile men, through a filiation event grid. This study examines the genealogical tree established during the genetic session, which precedes an ICSI procedure, and applies this filiation grid to a sample of 30 men met in the ART department and to a reference group of 30 fertile men met in a maternity hospital after the birth of their child. The results show statistical differences in the filiation events of both populations. We can therefore assume that difficulties in the past generations may play a part in some cases of male infertility.
