Y 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 کاملMultiplex PCR Screening of Y Chromosome Microdeletions in Azoospermic Patients
Objective To develop a multiplex PCR protocol for routine screening of microdeletions on the Y chromosome Methods Five multiplex sets were established and Y chromosome microdeletions screening were carried out in 26 azoospermic men who undertook ICSI and 30 azoospermic men who undertook testicular biopsy. Results In 56 azoospermic men, 5 patients were found with AZFc/DAZ microdeletions, 2 patie...
متن کاملFrequency 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 کاملMale infertility in Northeast China: molecular detection of Y chromosome microdeletions in azoospermic patients with Klinefelter's syndrome.
The prevalence of microdeletions of azoospermia factor (AZF) among azoospermic Klinefelter's syndrome (KFS) patients shows conflicting data. We aimed to detect this frequency in a Northeast Chinese population, and to investigate the possible association between AZF microdeletions and KFS by comparison with previous conflicting reports. Eighty men affected with KFS and a random healthy control g...
متن کاملY chromosome azoospermia factor region microdeletions and transmission characteristics in azoospermic and severe oligozoospermic patients.
Spermatogenesis is an essential reproductive process that is regulated by many Y chromosome specific genes. Most of these genes are located in a specific region known as the azoospermia factor region (AZF) in the long arm of the human Y chromosome. AZF microdeletions are recognized as the most frequent structural chromosomal abnormalities and are the major cause of male infertility. Assisted re...
