Abstract
Background: Non-invasive molecular biomarkers for classifying azoospermia by origin into either obstructive or non-obstructive/secretory azoospermia, as well as for inferring the spermatogenic reserve of the testis of non-obstructive/secretory azoospermia patients, are of great interest for testicular sperm retrieval outcome prediction for assisted reproduction. Prior analyses of semen small non-coding RNA expression in azoospermia have focused on microRNAs, but there has been a lack of attention on other regulatory small RNA species. In this regard, studying more in-depth expression changes of small non-coding RNA subtypes in small extracellular vesicles from semen of azoospermic individuals could be useful to select additional non-invasive biomarkers with diagnostic/prognostic purposes.
