متن کاملI-6: Azoospermia Factor in Male Infertility
Background The human Y chromosome is essential for human sex determination and male germ cell development and maintenance. In 1996, Vogt et al. identified three recurrently deleted regions in Yq11 termed the azoospermia factor (AZF). The AZF region is subdivided into three non-overlapping sub-regions called AZFa, AZFb and AZFc and microdeletion in these regions is the most important etiology of...
متن کاملGenetic Testing in Male Infertility
Infertility is a major health problem which affects approximately 22% of married couples in reproductive age. The apparent increased incidence of male infertility, in parallel with the widespread use of in vitro fertilization (IVF), raises concern as to the impact of advanced assisted conception techniques in transmitting genetic anomalies to the offspring. Recent research has widely focused on...
