Abstract
For sperm DNA assessments to be widespread effective clinical tools, key objectives need to be urgently achieved. These include robust standardized methods, systems for training staff and ongoing quality control; and rigorous examination of the clinical outcomes. We discuss the significance of these objectives and conclude that, if achieved, the clinical utility of DNA damage assessment will be fully realized. (Fertil Steril (R) 2010;94:1958-9.
