    Abstract We investigated the polymorphisms/mutations in synaptonemal complex central element protein 1 (SYCE1) and CDC25A mRNA-binding protein (BOLL) to test whether they increase the risk of azoospermia among Bengali-speaking men from West Bengal, India. Sanger's dideoxy sequencing was used to genotype 140 azoospermic individuals who tested negative for Y chromosome microdeletion and 120 healthy controls. In both cases and controls, qRT-PCR was used to determine the expression summary of SYCE1 and BOLL. The perceived harmful consequences of identified mutations were inferred using in silico analysis. Suitable statistical approaches were used to conduct the association study. We found SYCE1 177insT (ON245141), 10650T > G (ON257012), 10093insT (ON257013), 10653insG (ON292504), rs10857748A > G, rs10857749G > A, and rs10857750T > A and BOLL 7708T > A (ON245141insT), rs72918816T > C, and rs700655C > T variants with the prevalence of azoospermia. Data from qRT-PCR and in silico studies projected that the variations would either disrupt the transcript's natural splice junctions or cause probable damage to the structure of the genes' proteins. SYCE1 gene variants [177insT (ON245141), 10650T > G (ON257012), 10093insT (ON257013), 10653insG (ON292504), rs10857748A > G, rs10857749G > A, rs10857750T > A] and BOLL gene variants [7708T > A (ON245141insT), rs72918816T > C, rs700655C > T] reduce the expression of respective gene in testicular tissue among azoospermic male as revealed from qRT-PCR result. These genetic variations could be utilized as screening tools for male infertility to determine the best course of treatment in routine ART practise.

    Abstract Etiology of male infertility is intriguing owing to complex genetic regulation of human spermatogenesis and ethnic variations in genetic architecture of human populations. The present study characterizes the role of Y chromosome specific spermatogenic regulator testis-specific protein Y-encoded 1 (TSPY1) gene mutation in spermatogenic failure. This case-control study includes 163 cases of spermatogenic failure and 175 age-matched fertile men as controls. We found five novel base substitutions, namely, MT162695, MN879413, MN889982, MN889983, MN719943, two deletions MN734578 and MN734579, three novel insertions MN719941, MN719942 and MN719944 through Sanger's dideoxy sequencing of TSPY1 gene reading frame. All these mutations exhibited strong association with male infertility. In silico analyses suggest prospective disruption in splice sites and alteration in different isoforms of TSPY1 transcripts and amino acid sequence in TSPY1 protein. The study provides novel evidence in favour of implication of TSPY1 gene in male fertility. The outcome sheds light to get insight into the issue of idiopathic male infertility in Bengali population.

    Abstract Background: Etiology of male infertility is intriguing and Y chromosome microdeletion within azoospermia factor (AZF) sub-regions is considered major cause. We conducted a screening for Y chromosome microdeletion in an infertile male cohort from West Bengal, India to characterize Y chromosome microdeletion among infertile men.
    Methods: We recruited case subjects that were categorized on the basis of sperm count as azoospermia (N = 63), severe oligozoospermia (N = 38), and oligozoospermia (N = 17) and compared them with age, demography, and ethnicity matched healthy proven fertile control males (N = 84). Sequence Tagged Site makers and polymerase chain reaction based profiling of Y chromosome was done for AZF region and SRY for cases and controls.
    Results: We scored 16.1% of cases (19 out of 118) that bear one or more microdeletions in the studied loci and none among the controls. The aberrations were more frequent among azoospermic males (17 of 19) than in severe oligozoospermic subjects (2 of 19).
    Conclusion: Our study provides the results of screening of the largest Bengali infertile men sample genotyped with the maximum number of STS markers spanning the entire length of Y chromosome long arm. Y chromosome microdeletion is a significant genetic etiology of infertility among Bengali men.

    Abstract Purpose: Genetic etiology of idiopathic male infertility is enigmatic owing to involvement of multiple gene regulatory networks in spermatogenesis process. Any change in optimal function of the transcription factors involved in this process owing to polymorphisms/mutations may increase the risk of infertility. We investigated polymorphisms/mutations of spermatogenic transcription regulators TAF7 and RFX2 and analysed their association with incidence of azoospermia among the men from West Bengal, India.
    Methods: Genotyping was carried by Sanger's dideoxy sequencing of 130 azoospermic men who were detected negative in Y chromosome microdeletion screening and 140 healthy controls. Association study was done by suitable statistical methods. In silico analysis was performed to infer the intuitive damaging effects of detected variants at transcripts and protein level.
    Results: We found significant association of TAF7 C16T (MW827584 G > A), RFX2 562delT (MZ560629delA), rs11547633 A > C, rs17606721 A > G, MW827583 C > T, and MZ379836 C > T variants with the incidence of azoospermia. In silico analysis predicted that the variants either alter the natural splice junctions of the transcript or cause probable damage in the structure of proteins of respective genes.
    Conclusion: Polymorphisms/mutations of TAF7 and RFX2 genes increase risk of male infertility in Bengali population. The novel variants may be used as markers for male infertility screening in ART practise.

    Abstract The recent outbreak of novel SARs CoVid-2 across the globe and absence of specific drug against this virus lead the scientific community to look into some alternative indigenous treatments. India as a hub of ayurvedic and medicinal plants can shed light on its treatment using specific active bio-molecules from these plants.Keeping our herbal resources in mind we were interested to inquire whether some phytochemicals from Indian spices and medicinal plants can be used as alternative therapeutic agents in contrast to synthetic drugs.We used in-silico molecular docking approach to test whether bioactive molecules of herbal origin such as Hyperoside, Nimbaflavone, Ursolic acid, 6-gingerol, 6-shogaol& 6-paradol, Curcumin, Catechins&Epigallocatechin, α-Hederin, Piperine could bind and potentially block theMᵖʳᵒenzyme of Sars-CoV-2 virus.Ursolic acid showed the highest docking score (-8.7 kcal/mol) followed by Hyperoside (-8.6kcal/mol), α-Hederin (-8.5 kcal/mol) and Nimbaflavone (-8.0kcal/mol). Epigallocatechin, Catechins, and Curcumin also exhibited high binding affinity (Docking score -7.3, -7.1 and -7.1 kcal/mol) with the Mᵖʳᵒ. Rest of the tested phytochemicals exhibited moderate binding and inhibitory effects.This finding provides a basis for biochemical assay on Sars-CoV-2 virus.
