Frequency of Y Chromosome Microdeletions in Azoospermic and Oligospermic Iranian Infertile Men
Background and Aims: Azoospermia factor (AZF) region of the Y-chromosome has several genes which are responsible for normal spermatogenesis. Microdeletions of these genes are associated with azoospermia and oligospermia. These microdeletions are too small to be detected by karyotyping. They can be easily identified using polymerase chain reaction. The aim of this study is to determine the frequ...
متن کاملY chromosome microdeletions in Brazilian fertility clinic patients.
Microdeletions in Yq are associated with defects in spermatogenesis, while those in the AZF region are considered critical for germ cell development. We examined microdeletions in the Y chromosomes of patients attended at the Laboratory of Human Reproduction of the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Goiás as part of a screening of patients who plan to undergo assisted reproduction. ...
متن کاملDetection of Y Chromosome Microdeletions and Hormonal Profile Analysis of Infertile Men undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technologies
Objective Y chromosome deletions (YCDs) in azoospermia factor (AZF) region are associated with abnormal spermatogenesis and may lead to azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and testicular sperm extraction (TESE) are commonly required for infertility management of patients carrying YCDs. The aim of this study w...
متن کاملY chromosome microdeletions in azoospermic patients with Klinefelter's syndrome.
AIM To study the occurrence of Y chromosome microdeletions in azoospermic patients with Klinefelter's syndrome (KFS). METHODS Blood and semen samples were collected from azoospermic patients with KFS (n = 14) and a control group of men of proven fertility (n = 13). Semen analysis was done according to World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Blood samples were processed for karyotyping, fl...
متن کاملthe prevalence of y chromosome microdeletions in iranian infertile men with azoospermia and severe oligospermia
objective: microdeletions of the y chromosome long arm are the most common molecular genetic causes of severe infertility in men. they affect three regions including azoospermia factors (azfa, azfb and azfc), which contain various genes involved in spermatogenesis. the aim of the present study was to reveal the patterns of y chromosome microdeletions in iranian infertile men referred to royan i...
