One of the reasons of male infertility is a sperm DNA fragmentation. DNA fragmentation test helps to determine the percentage of sperm DNA damage in male germ cells. Damage or rupture of the DNA molecule of the sperm can lead to destruction of fertilization and embryo development and also may  cause spontaneous abortion.
