An associate professor of genetics at the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Tabriz University stated that genetic factors are one of the known causes of infertility in both women and men. Changes in the number or structure of chromosomes, as well as pathogenic changes in certain genes, can disrupt sperm production, the growth and maturation of eggs, and the functioning of reproductive organs. However, not all cases of infertility have a genetic origin, and sometimes multiple factors play a role simultaneously in its occurrence.
