DNA testing in Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral
About the clinic
DNA testing for male infertility at the clinic of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral in Istanbul, Turkey, identifies genetic factors that prevent successful conception. This diagnostic screening checks for chromosomal abnormalities and specific gene mutations that affect sperm production. The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate and follows standards set by ESHRE and SART.
Diagnostic scope and results
Genetic testing helps determine if male infertility stems from inherited or acquired DNA issues. This examination allows the medical team to understand why sperm may be absent or low in count. The process evaluates several critical genetic areas:
- Numerical chromosomal anomalies. Detects conditions like Klinefelter syndrome where an extra chromosome is present.
- Y chromosome microdeletions. Checks for missing genetic material on the Y chromosome responsible for sperm development.
- Single-gene diseases. Screens for the CFTR mutation, which can cause the absence of the vas deferens.
- Sperm production analysis. Identifies if the body has the blueprint to create healthy sperm.
Clinic expertise and standards
The clinic is led by a specialist with over 25 years of experience in reproductive medicine. This diagnostic is part of a routine fertility evaluation for patients with severe sperm count issues. Following international protocols from the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) helps maintain technical accuracy. The facility uses molecular biology techniques to map these genetic markers. Results from these tests help clinicians decide if sperm can be retrieved through biopsy or if further steps are needed. This testing is an outpatient procedure and does not require a hospital stay.
Patients interested in genetic screening for fertility can request a consultation or leave a request on Bookimed to learn about the process.

Accreditations and Professional Recognition
The clinic holds the International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate. It maintains affiliations with major reproductive organizations including ESHRE and SART. Dr. Oral is an active member of several professional societies:
- American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM)
- European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE)
- Turkish Society of Reproductive Medicine (TSRM)
- American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL)
- European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE)
These memberships keep the clinic aligned with global standards in fertility and endoscopic surgery.
Reproductology and IVF Services
The clinic treats both female and male infertility using evidence-based protocols. Healthy couples have a 25% monthly pregnancy chance. IVF can increase this to 60%. Specialists create individualized plans based on age and ovarian reserve. The reproductology department manages several conditions and procedures:
- IVF (in vitro fertilization) and ICSI microinjection
- Controlled cryopreservation of embryos stored in liquid nitrogen
- Fertility preservation through egg freezing
- Micro TESE for male patients with no sperm in semen analysis
- Management of PCOS and ovarian endometriomas (chocolate cysts)
Fertility preservation is a core focus for patients planning future families. The specialist evaluates ovarian reserve before recommending egg or embryo freezing.
Advanced Gynecological Surgery
Specialists perform minimally invasive surgeries to treat uterine and ovarian conditions. These procedures often address underlying causes of infertility. Surgeons use vNOTES, a technique that leaves no visible abdominal scars. The surgical team performs various interventions:
- Hysteroscopic septum resection to correct uterine abnormalities
- Laparoscopic myomectomy for the removal of uterine fibroids
- Hysteroscopic polypectomy to remove endometrial polyps
- Surgical management of hydrosalpinx to improve IVF success rates
For fibroids, the clinic recommends removal if they exceed 6 cm or cause pressure. Pre-operative hormone therapy may shrink fibroids or treat anemia. Surgeons also treat urinary incontinence with non-surgical laser therapy when suitable.
Diagnostic Technologies
The clinic uses detailed imaging and lab tests to build treatment plans. Diagnostic tools help identify uterine adhesions, fibroids, or blocked tubes. The facility has specific diagnostic equipment:
- Transvaginal and pelvic ultrasound systems
- HSG (hysterosalpingogram) for uterine X-ray imaging
- Colposcopy for early detection of cervical cellular changes
- Hysteroscopy for direct visual inspection of the uterine cavity
- Semen analysis and DNA testing for male fertility evaluation
These tools let the specialist monitor pregnancy and screen for gynecological concerns.
Services for International Patients
The clinic provides structured support for international patients through its health tourism authorization. Communication is available in English for consultations and treatment planning. The specialist guides patients through each technical step of the IVF process. The practice is located in Kızıltoprak, a central Istanbul district.
