Background: Azoospermia is a very severe form infertility in males. Today, clinicians depend on semen analyses for the prediction of the reproductive potential of males, and testicular biopsies are the only reliable methods for diagnosing various subtypes of azoospermia. In the recent times, advances in proteomics contributed to look for new infertility biomarkers in males whose seminal plasma proteins are rich with proteins of various genital tract origins. Therefore, the fields of proteomics helped to develop new infertility biomarkers in males. Extracellular Matrix Protein 1 and Seminal plasma proteins Testis Expressed Protein 101 assays currently existing of are under the …
