Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2021121525A1] The present invention relates to the identification that RANKL, OPG and/or RANK in seminal fluid are strong predictor of the fertility potential of a male subject. The predictive value is almost as strong as the classically used predictors in the clinic such as sperm count, motility and morphology. The method of the invention is suitable to be used in a home kit format e.g. similar to the established pregnancy test.
