Komal Rashid Khan: DNA Fragmentation – A Key Biomarker in Andrology and Embryology
Komal Rashid Khan, Senior Clinical Embryologist at Shifa International Hospitals, shared on LinkedIn:
”DNA Fragmentation: A Key Biomarker in Andrology and Embryology
Sperm DNA integrity is increasingly recognized as an important factor in male fertility and assisted reproductive technologies (ART). While conventional semen analysis evaluates sperm count, motility, and morphology, it does not assess DNA integrity, which may provide additional information in selected clinical situations.
This infographic summarizes:
- What sperm DNA fragmentation is
- Common causes and risk factors
- Available testing methods
- Clinical significance in Andrology and Embryology
- Potential impact on IVF/ICSI outcomes
- Current management approaches and key considerations
This infographic is intended for educational and study purposes only. I hope this serves as a useful revision resource and encourages evidence-based discussion among reproductive medicine professionals.”
