Path Fertility Releases its Company Facts Sheet

SALT LAKE CITY, UT / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / Path Fertility^TM, an epigenetics-driven fertility technology company, today unveiled the Path Fertility Facts Sheet, a copy of which is embedded below within this news release.

BEGINNING OF THE Path Fertility^TM Facts Sheet

Overview

Path Fertility^TM helps clinicians and patients uncover male-factor insights that can be missed by "Standard-of-Care" Semen Analysis testing alone, so couples can make more informed fertility treatment decisions sooner.

Path Fertility offers clinically validated testing that evaluates sperm quality and function using epigenetics, providing additional insight into reproductive potential and likely success with common fertility treatment pathways.

Such insights are now validated through three separate, peer-reviewed studies published, respectively, by

• The Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics (JARG), 2026;

• F&S Science, 2023; and

• Frontiers in Genetics, 2023.

Details noted below.

Why this Matters

In fertility care, the male partner is too often "cleared" based on a Semen Analysis result that falls into a reference range. But "Normal" test results do not always mean normal sperm function.

Path Fertility exists to help close that information gap earlier, helping couples reduce avoidable time, cost, and emotional strain.

Flagship Test: SpermQT

SpermQT is a clinically validated epigenetic sperm quality test designed to help predict the likelihood of pregnancy success with certain fertility treatment pathways, especially Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), a procedure where sperm are placed directly into the uterus during ovulation.

What SpermQT Measures

1. DNA methylation patterns associated with sperm quality and function, i.e., the presence of certain DNA abnormalities in sperm

2. Functional capability associated with sperm's ability to find, bind, penetrate, and fertilize

3. DNA methylation dysregulation across 1,200+ genes

Results are reported as

• Excellent,

• Normal, and

• Abnormal.

Key Clinical Insights

• Review of the clinical data shows that SpermQT results are associated with meaningful differences in pregnancy outcomes for couples pursuing IUI.

• SpermQT can identify subfertile men who may be missed by Semen Analysis alone; case in point, 4 out of 5 men with an Abnormal SpermQT result receive a "Normal" test result via Semen Analysis testing.

• Either In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), where eggs are fertilized in a lab, or with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), where a single sperm is injected into an egg, may help overcome certain sperm quality challenges observed in epigenetic testing.

Who can Benefit

Patients / Couples

• Couples exploring treatment options and wanting better clarity before choosing a path,

• Couples with "unexplained infertility," including cases with "Normal" Semen Analysis results, and

• Couples with failed IUI cycles that need better decision support on next steps.

Providers

• Fertility clinics and reproductive endocrinology teams seeking better early male-factor insights,

• Urology and andrology practices aiming to improve male workup resolution, and

• Clinics seeking stronger prediction support for IUI planning and counseling.

When to use SpermQT

SpermQT is designed as a complement to, and not a replacement of, "Standard-of-Care" Semen Analysis. It is often most useful:

• Early in the initial male fertility workup, alongside Semen Analysis,

• When Semen Analysis is "Normal" but pregnancy has not occurred as expected, and

• After failed IUI attempts to inform whether to continue IUI or move to IVF, with or without ICSI.

How it Works

1. Physician-ordered test (ordering support available through Path Fertility),

2. Sample collected via at-home kit (or clinic workflow when applicable),

3. Testing performed; results returned in about 2 weeks, and

4. Provider reviews results with the patient to inform next-step planning.
