When searching for male infertility factors, infertile couples should definitely include the detection of sperm protein P34H on their list of male tests. Past research has shown that the lack of protein P34H on the sperm is linked to a significant number of male infertility cases. According to the data collected in the laboratory of Dr. Robert Sullivan, PhD, out of 138 cases of infertility screened for protein P34H, 46 exhibited a protein P34H deficiency. On the other side, 80 couples with proven fertility also screened for protein P34H, all had normal levels of sperm protein P34H.
