            [title] => Screening and diagnostic test panel for male infertility: Experience from Eurofins - GENTIS laboratory
            [description] => Male infertility is a sensitive topic that is sometimes overlooked during infertility consultations. However, in reality, it accounts for nearly 50% of infertility cases among couples. While women are often evaluated early, many men are not diagnosed in time, leading to delayed treatment or even the selection of inappropriate assisted reproductive methods.
            [content] => 
In response to this reality, Eurofins - GENTIS has developed a comprehensive testing panel aimed at accurately screening and diagnosing the causes of male infertility. This panel not only helps doctors identify the root causes but also allows for individualized treatment plans, optimizing the chances of conception for couples.
Medical research shows that male infertility can arise from multiple causes: about 70% result from testicular defects, 15% are related to endocrine disorders, 5% involve sperm motility issues, and 10% remain unexplained. Notably, genetic factors are implicated in approximately 15% of male infertility cases. These factors may include chromosomal abnormalities, gene mutations, or epigenetic disorders, which cannot be detected using standard tests. Early detection of these genetic factors is crucial not only for accurately assessing spermatogenic potential but also for preventing the transmission of genetic disorders to future generations through controlled assisted reproductive methods such as IVF combined with PGT-M.
Dr. Vu Thu Huong (GENTIS) presented on genetic causes of male infertility at the VSSM 2025 Conference
Therefore, the process of evaluating male infertility follows a standardized protocol in line with recommendations from the European Association of Urology (EAU, 2025), the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), and expert consensus. First, all men suspected of infertility undergo a thorough medical history review and clinical examination to evaluate relevant parameters.
The goal of the initial assessment is to identify cases that can be treated or couples with male-factor infertility who may benefit from assisted reproductive interventions. Depending on the results, further investigations may be conducted, such as testicular ultrasound to detect conditions like hydrocele or varicocele—common but treatable causes if detected early. Physicians may also order endocrine and extended tests, particularly genetic tests, to identify the underlying cause of infertility.
Semen analysis is the first and fundamental test for evaluating sperm quality. It measures sperm concentration, motility, and morphology. If abnormalities are found, the test is typically repeated after 2–3 weeks to rule out temporary factors such as stress, acute illness, or environmental influences. Additionally, endocrine evaluation through FSH, LH, and testosterone levels helps differentiate primary versus secondary hypogonadism, especially in cases with very low sperm counts (<5 million/mL).
Karyotype testing is a key genetic test performed at Eurofins - GENTIS. It is indicated for patients with azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia (sperm count <5 million/mL) to detect numerical or structural chromosomal abnormalities, such as Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY) or chromosomal deletions and translocations. This allows physicians to provide prognosis regarding spermatogenic potential and guide appropriate treatment.
Dr. Huong shared various screening and diagnostic tests for male infertility
Another common genetic cause of male infertility is microdeletions in the AZF region of the Y chromosome, which is the second most frequent genetic factor after chromosomal abnormalities. AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc regions contain genes essential for spermatogenesis, and deletions in these areas can directly cause infertility. Testing is indicated for azoospermic men or those with sperm counts below 5 million/mL, and is mandatory for counts below 1 million/mL. Identifying deletions in AZFa or AZFb is crucial because affected patients typically lack spermatogenic potential, preventing unnecessary interventions, while AZFc deletions may still allow for sperm retrieval and assisted reproduction. This test also plays a role in genetic counseling, as Y chromosome deletions in the father can be inherited by sons via ICSI.
Another cause of obstructive male infertility is congenital absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD), commonly associated with CFTR gene mutations causing cystic fibrosis. Men with low semen volume (<1 mL), acidic semen (pH <7.0), and absent sperm, along with relevant clinical history, are tested for CFTR mutations. At GENTIS, this test uses PCR combined with Sanger sequencing to detect 22 common CFTR mutations, including variants like Val470Met and Arg117His, as well as IVS8 polymorphisms. Results allow physicians to identify CBAVD-related infertility and plan treatments such as vas deferens reconstruction, testicular sperm extraction, or IVF/ICSI, while providing genetic counseling to prevent cystic fibrosis in offspring.
Beyond basic genetic tests, sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) testing is an important tool in diagnosing male infertility, particularly in unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriage, or repeated IVF/ICSI failure. At GENTIS, SDF is performed using the SCSA method, which employs specialized fluorescent dyes and flow cytometry to assess sperm DNA damage. Based on SDF results, physicians can recommend lifestyle modifications (e.g., quitting smoking, weight loss, reducing environmental toxin exposure, antioxidant supplementation) or interventions such as varicocele repair or advanced sperm selection techniques like PICSI or MACS to improve treatment outcomes.
Dr. Huong discussed the benefits of genetic testing in male infertility screening and diagnosis
At the 2025 National VSSM Scientific Conference, MSc. Dr. Vu Thu Huong (R&D Specialist at GENTIS) noted that in 30–40% of cases, even after all standard tests, the cause of infertility remains unknown. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) offers a breakthrough by analyzing large panels of genes related to spermatogenesis, identifying rare or novel mutations. Targeted gene panels or whole exome sequencing (WES) can determine molecular-level causes. However, incidental findings or variants of uncertain significance (VUS) may complicate counseling and treatment decisions. GENTIS has a team of genetic experts capable of multidisciplinary consultation and international database review to provide personalized guidance.
Dr. Huong emphasized that not every patient requires genetic testing; it should be performed only with clear clinical indications. Selecting the appropriate test prevents unnecessary interventions, accurately identifies the cause of infertility, enables individualized treatment, informs the choice of assisted reproduction methods, guides PGT-M if needed, and most importantly, reduces risk for future generations.
With over 15 years of experience in genetic testing, Eurofins - GENTIS is a pioneer in Vietnam in applying genetic diagnostics to male infertility. Beyond being a laboratory, GENTIS collaborates with doctors, fertility centers, and patients to make precise, individualized treatment decisions, ultimately helping couples achieve their dream of parenthood safely and sustainably.

            [title] => GENTIS partners with HSMFM 2025: Joining hands to improve the quality of maternal and fetal healthcare in Vietnam
            [description] => The Ho Chi Minh City Maternal and Fetal Medicine Conference 2025 (HSMFM 2025) successfully concluded after two vibrant days from October 18 to 19, 2025, held at the Grand Saigon Hotel and Sheraton Saigon. With nearly 700 delegates and over 30 domestic and international speakers and chairpersons participating, the event once again affirmed its leading position in obstetrics and gynecology, fetal medicine, and genetics in Vietnam. Under the shared theme, "For the Health of Vietnamese Mothers and Fetuses," the conference was not only a platform for sharing the latest knowledge but also a bridge connecting research, application, and clinical practice.
            [content] => 

As a co-sponsor of this conference, GENTIS’s participation further demonstrates its strong commitment to promoting the application of genetic medicine in reproductive healthcare. Beyond providing advanced technological solutions, GENTIS contributed to the professional program with up-to-date content aimed at practical value for doctors and specialists.
One of the key highlights introduced by GENTIS at the conference was two modern genetic testing solutions widely applied in Vietnam, recently certified by the College of American Pathologists (CAP)—one of the top international standards for medical laboratories. Among them, the NIPT test (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) is increasingly becoming the standard in modern pregnancy management. With the ability to detect genetic abnormalities as early as the 9th week of pregnancy using only maternal blood samples, NIPT minimizes risks associated with invasive procedures like amniocentesis, while providing accurate information for doctors and expectant mothers to make informed medical decisions. Discussions at the conference clearly emphasized the importance of broad NIPT implementation, especially given the still-high rates of late detection of congenital abnormalities in many localities.

Additionally, GENTIS highlighted the role of PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) in the field of assisted reproduction. Embryo screening before transfer—not only improving IVF success rates but also reducing the risk of passing genetic disorders to the next generation. With the rising rate of infertility and increasing demand for healthy childbirth, applying PGT has become an essential part of IVF protocols at many leading fertility centers. GENTIS currently offers PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGT-SR tests, expanding screening capabilities from chromosomal abnormalities to complex single-gene disorders.

Notably, at this conference, GENTIS proudly sponsored a scientific report titled “Gene Therapy in Fetuses: From Potential to Clinical Practice,” presented by Dr. Nguyen Van Thong—Head of Medical Genetics Department, Hung Vuong Hospital. The report attracted significant attention from the professional community as it discussed the emerging and promising field of gene therapy in fetal medicine. Developing gene therapies administered before birth, if systematically advanced, could fundamentally change the approach to treating congenital genetic diseases in Vietnam in the near future. This aligns with GENTIS’s long-term vision—not only providing genetic testing services but also accompanying the medical community in research, application, and technology transfer of advanced medical innovations.
HSMFM 2025 also served as a forum for experts to deeply discuss the standardization of fetal screening, diagnosis, and intervention processes, sharing experiences in managing high-risk pregnancies, and enhancing genetic counseling capacity. Case discussion sessions provided fresh insights, highlighting the urgent need for continuous knowledge updates and applying scientific technology to improve treatment quality.
By partnering with HSMFM 2025, GENTIS not only demonstrated its role as a reputable provider of genetic medicine services but also as a crucial link in Vietnam’s healthcare innovation ecosystem. This event marked another important milestone in GENTIS’s ongoing journey to contribute to building a preventive, precise, and personalized healthcare system, aiming to improve quality of life from the earliest stage—right from the womb.

            [description] => Carrying the mission to accompany families on their journey to parenthood, GENTIS is proud to collaborate with Andrology and fertility hospital of Hanoi to organize the AF HANOI Prenatal Class with the theme “Dear Mom-to-Be, Don’t Miss Out.”
            [content] => 
We understand that motherhood is a sacred journey, and to confidently step into this role, expectant mothers need not only knowledge but also support and proper guidance from experts and the community. This is not just a sharing session but an experience—an opportunity for both parents to mentally prepare and better understand the journey ahead as they await the arrival of their beloved baby.
Why should expectant mothers not miss the Prenatal Class?
Before their babies arrive, expectant mothers often have many concerns and worries—from bodily changes, nutrition, daily habits, to delivery methods, newborn care, and postpartum recovery. Without the right knowledge or guidance, mothers can easily become stressed, confused, or overwhelmed when “the moment” comes.
At the AF HANOI Prenatal Class, you will have the opportunity to hear directly from Dr. Luu Ba Hung and Dr. Hoang Duc Trung—two highly experienced obstetricians who have accompanied many mothers through pregnancy. Their shared knowledge is not only theoretical but also practical, with real-life stories from operating rooms and experiences of other mothers.
Moreover, expectant mothers will receive detailed guidance on nutrition, appropriate exercise, pregnancy monitoring, common complications, and early management. Mothers will also learn how to mentally prepare for labor—how to manage anxiety without being overwhelmed; how to reduce pain, choose the suitable delivery method, and prepare for a smooth birth.
The class doesn’t stop at “giving birth”—it also guides mothers on caring for their newborns from day one: breastfeeding, umbilical cord care, managing jaundice, skin care, sleep, fever prevention, and initial emergency handling. Additionally, mothers will be guided on postpartum body recovery, nutrition, gentle exercises, and maintaining mental health.
In a warm and friendly atmosphere, expectant mothers can ask any questions about pregnancy and childbirth—from “Why is the baby moving less?” to “Is a cesarean section dangerous?”—and receive thorough answers from the doctors.
Furthermore, GENTIS understands that the participation of mothers is precious. Therefore, many special gifts will be given to participants as tokens of gratitude and encouragement to help mothers feel valued and comprehensively cared for.

Insights from Organizers

Dr. Nguyen Anh Tu, Director of the Hanoi Center for Sexual Medicine – AF HANOI, shared the motivation behind organizing this conference: “During our clinical work, we’ve noticed that many couples not only struggle with infertility but also face challenges in their sexual relationships. Unlike reproductive health, which is more openly discussed, female sexual health remains a sensitive and under-addressed topic—especially in the cultural context of East Asian countries like Vietnam. Many women experiencing sexual health issues don’t know where to seek help, or silently endure psychological stress without knowing who to turn to. That’s why we hope this conference becomes a forum where specialists from across the country can exchange ideas, share experiences, and update the latest knowledge in women’s sexual health care. As a center specialized in sexual medicine, we also aim to contribute practical insights from our clinical experience to make the conference more applicable. Moreover, it is an opportunity to connect experts from the North, Central, and South regions to form a robust collaborative network. This will enable us to offer more comprehensive, modern, and reliable approaches, giving patients better access to proper care tailored to their needs.”
Challenges in Female Sexual Health in Vietnam
According to Dr. Nguyen Anh Tu, one of the major challenges in addressing women's sexual health in Vietnam is the lack of awareness among patients themselves. Many women face difficulties finding suitable clinics or don’t know how to voice their concerns or share their private issues.
In addition, sexual medicine is still a relatively new field—not only in Vietnam but globally. In current medical training programs, this topic is not yet thoroughly covered. However, worldwide trends show increasing attention to this field, with the emergence of professional organizations such as:

International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM)
International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health (ISSWSH)
International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD)
Vietnam Society for Sexual Medicine (VSSM)

These organizations serve as respected platforms for doctors and experts to collaborate, research, and stay updated with specialized knowledge.
Conference Impact and GENTIS’s Participation
The conference helped illuminate the challenges in diagnosing and treating female sexual health disorders, offering a more comprehensive view of clinical practices. It reaffirmed the expertise of the Hanoi Center for Sexual Medicine in managing female sexual dysfunctions, and highlighted the proactive role of the AF HANOI Hospital in raising awareness and improving the quality of women's sexual health care in Vietnam.
GENTIS was honored to accompany the event as a sponsor. As a pioneer in genetic testing and precision medicine in Vietnam, GENTIS has always prioritized public health at the heart of its operations throughout more than a decade of development.
By joining forces with AF HANOI Hospital in this conference, GENTIS not only reaffirmed its long-term commitment to improving women's healthcare, but also demonstrated its mission to “Enhance the intellectual and physical well-being of the Vietnamese people.”
