it is now agreed that 10-25% of infertile men with azoospermia have submicroscopic deletions of the y chromosome long ann (yq), consistent with the proposed location of the azoospermia locus (azf) in yq 11.23. however, it is not known whether yq microdeletions are unique to men with azoospermia or whether they are also observed in infertile men with less severe defects of spermatogenesis (oligo...
Some men with non-obstructive azoospermia harbour fully formed spermatozoa within their testicular tissue that can be used to achieve pregnancy via intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Recently, Reijo et al. (1995) provided compelling evidence that the DAZ gene cluster is a strong candidate for one of the elusive azoospermia factors (AZF) located on the long arm of the Y chromosome. The DAZ...
The human DAZ gene family is expressed in germ cells and consists of a cluster of nearly identical DAZ (deleted in azoospermia) genes on the Y chromosome and an autosomal homolog, DAZL (DAZ-like). Only the autosomal gene is found in mice. Y-chromosome deletions that encompass the DAZ genes are a common cause of spermatogenic failure in men, and autosomal homologs of DAZ are essential for testic...
Because a microdeletion containing the DAZ gene is the most frequently observed deletion in infertile men, the DAZ gene was considered a strong candidate for the azoospermia factor. A recent evolutionary analysis, however, suggested that DAZ was free from functional constraints and consequently played little or no role in human spermatogenesis. The major evidence for this surprising conclusion ...
The DAZ gene, a contributing factor in infertility, lies on the human Y chromosome's AZFc region, whose deletion is a common cause of spermatogenic failure. Y chromosome binary polymorphisms on the non-recombining Y (NRY) region, believed to be a single occurrence on an evolutionary scale, were typed in a sample of fertile and infertile men with known DAZ backgrounds. The Y single-nucleotide po...
The DAZLA (DAZ Like Autosomal) gene on human chromosome 3 shares a high degree of homology with the DAZ (Deleted in AZoospermia) gene family on the Y chromosome, a gene family frequently deleted in males with azoospermia or severe oligospermia. The involvement of both DAZ and DAZLA in spermatogenesis is suggested by their testis-specific expression and their homology with a Drosophila male infe...
Mutations in Deleted in Azoospermia (DAZ), a Y chromosome gene, are an important cause of human male infertility. DAZ is found exclusively in primates, limiting functional studies of this gene to its homologs: boule, required for meiotic progression of germ cells in invertebrate model systems, and Daz-like (Dazl), required for early germ cell maintenance in vertebrates. Dazl is believed to have...
BACKGROUND The DAZ family genes boule, daz and dazl encode RNA binding proteins essential for fertility of diverse animals including human. dazl has bisexual expression in both mitotic and meiotic germ cells, whereas daz has male premeiotic expression, and boule is largely a unisexual meiotic regulator. Although boule has been proposed as the ancestor for dazl/daz by gene duplication, it has be...
The DAZ (Deleted in AZoospermia) gene family was isolated from a region of the human Y chromosome long arm that is deleted in about 10% of infertile men with idiopathic azoospermia. DAZ and an autosomal DAZ-like gene, DAZL1, are expressed in germ cells only. They encode proteins with an RNA recognition motif and with either a single copy (in DAZL1) or multiple copies (in DAZ) of a DAZ repeat. A...
We have isolated a series of human testis poly(A) cDNA clones by cross-hybridization to SPGY1, a Y gene homologous to DAZ. Their sequence analysis revealed an identical nucleotide composition in different 'full-length' clones, suggesting that all were encoded by the same gene. We mapped this gene to the short arm of chromosome 3 and designated it SPGYLA (SPGY like autosomal). Comparison of the ...
