Alterations in sperm mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) affect the functions of some OXPHOS proteins which will affect sperm motility and may be associated with asthenozoospermia. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between 7599- bp and 7345- bp sperm mtDNA deletions and asthenozoospermia in Jordan.
