متن کاملdeletion and testicular expression of daz (deleted in azoospermia) gene in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia
background: deletions of the daz (deleted in azoospermia) genes within the human y chromosome's azfc region are the most common cause of spermatogenesis failure. these deletions are usually assessed by analyses of genomic dna extracted from peripheral leukocytes. daz genes are expressed in male germ cells. in this prospective study, we investigated daz expression and deletion in 102 consecutiv...
متن کاملOutcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection with testicular spermatozoa in obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia.
From 1 August 1993 until 30 September 1994, 69 couples suffering from azoospermia underwent testicular sperm extraction and intracytoplasmic sperm injection. In 50 couples with obstructive azoospermia a total of 631 metaphase-II oocytes were injected after testicular sperm extraction yielding a 2-PN fertilization rate of 57%. In female patients <40 years of age an ongoing pregnancy rate per tra...
متن کاملObstructive azoospermia
Obstructive azoospermia (OA) is defined as the absence of spermatozoa in the ejaculate despite normal spermatogenesis, but either a mechanical blockage exists in the genital tract between the epididymis and the ejaculatory duct or the vasa deferentia are absent. A normal testicular biopsy is pathognomonic for obstruction, and a vasography should be indicated to identify the site of the obstruct...
متن کاملObstructive and Non-Obstructive Azoospermia
Azoospermia is defined as the complete absence of spermatozoa upon examination of the semen [including capillary tube centrifugation (CTC), strictly confirmed by the absence of spermatozoa issued in urine after ejaculation]. The presence of rare spermatozoa (<500.000/ml) in seminal fluid after centrifugation is called "cryptozoospermia". The complete absence of spermatozoa should be confirmed w...
