 ABSTRACT

Many factors such as exposure to physical and chemical agents, life style, smoking, and alcoholism habit may affect our reproductive health and ability to produce healthy children. The present study aims to investigate the association of polymorphisms of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes with infertility in malesteel industry workers.
