abstract

background: microdeletions of the azoospermia factor locus of the long arm of y chromosome are an etiological factor of severe oligozoospermia or azoospermia. objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of y-chromosome microdeletions in azf region and their role in infertility in pakistani population. materials and methods: the type of deletions in azf locus were detected in infertile men (n=113) and the association of y chromosome microdeletions with male infertility was assessed by including men (50) with normal karyotype and having children. y chromosome microdeletions were detected by multiplex pcr using 10 sequence tagged sites namely sy81, sy130, sy141, sy142, sy155, sy157, sy160, sy182, sy231, and sy202 that covered all three regions of azf. results: individuals with severe oligozoospermia showed 2.86% deletion frequency in azfc region as compared to azoospermic males (5.5%). conclusion: the results of our study showed that deletions in y chromosome are not playing major part in male infertility. moreover, multiplex-pcr strategy might preferably be employed for the detection of y chromosome microdeletions allied to male infertility.

Prevalence of Y chromosome microdeletions in infertile Tunisian men.

Yq microdeletions are the leading genetic cause of male infertility and its detection in clinically relevant for appropriate genetic counseling. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of Y microdeletion in a group of Tunisian infertile men and to compare the prevalence of these abnormalities with other countries and other Tunisian reported series.

the 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...

Y chromosome microdeletions in idiopathic infertile men from West Azarbaijan.

INTRODUCTION Although assisted reproduction techniques are used extensively in Iran, screening for Y chromosome microdeletions before intracytoplasmic sperm injection is often undervalued. Our aim was to investigate Y chromosome microdeletions in men with idiopathic azoospermia or severe oligospermia. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 99 selected patients with azoospermia or severe oligospermia and el...
