Y chromosome and male infertility.
Recent genome analysis of the Y chromosome has increased the number of genes found on this chromosome markedly. Many of these genes in the part of the Y chromosome that does not undergo recombination with the X chromosome are members of gene families. Evolutionary considerations imply that genes on the Y chromosome will degenerate unless they have male advantageous or female deleterious functio...
متن کاملAB26. Y chromosome and male infertility
As you know, for penile erection, a sufficient amount of testosterone-induced nitric oxide is needed in the smooth muscle of the penile arterial wall. With aging, LOH syndrome and so on, the serum testosterone level decreases, resulting in a decline of penile erectile function. Furthermore, it is known that the enzyme PDE5 in the penile artery wall also inhibits that function. Even so, it may b...
متن کامل[Y chromosome microdeletions in male infertility].
A genetic basis of infertility may exist in many men currently classified as having idiopathic infertility. Approximately 7% of infertile men harbour submicroscopic deletions of the Y chromosome that are not detectable on routine karyotype. Two candidate gene families, namely the RNA-binding motif-containing gene family, and the deleted-in-azoospermia gene family, have been cloned by deletion m...
متن کاملThe Y chromosome and male fertility and infertility.
Since 1995, thanks to a large number of studies, Y chromosome microdeletion screening has become part of the routine diagnostic work-up of severe male factor infertility. Many initial contradictory issues such as variability in deletion frequency, markers to be tested, presence of deletions in 'fertile' men, and genotype-phenotype correlation has been resolved. Past and present unresolved issue...
متن کاملCorrelation between Y chromosome microdeletion and male infertility.
Dyszoospermia due to genetic factors is the leading cause of male infertility. To explore the correlation between azoospermia factor (AZF) microdeletion of the Y chromosome and male infertility, we evaluated AZF microdeletion on the long arm of the Y chromosome in 166 infertile males and 50 fertile males using multiplex polymerase chain reactions amplification and gel electrophoresis. The resul...
