OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the frequencies of Y chromosome microdeletions in infertile azoospermic and oligozoospermic Turkish men and in healthy control subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-four azoospermic and 51 oligozoospermic patients infertile patients, and 70 healthy men who had a child without the aid of assisted reproductive technologies were included in this st...
Background Genetic factors are candidates for about 30% of male infertility with sperm production-related abnormalities. Y chromosome microdeletions are responsible for around 10% of male infertility. These microdeletions generally occur in azoospermia factor on the Yq. That is often associated with the quantitative reduction of sperm. Objective The aim of this cross-sectional study was to de...
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...
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a successful treatment option for severe male infertility, although the aetiology of the disorder remains unclear in most cases. Recently, microdeletions in the AZF region of the Y chromosome have been detected in men with azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia. In this study we investigated the prevalence of microdeletions in the AZF region of the Y ch...
BACKGROUND Microdeletions are known to confer risk to epilepsy, particularly at genomic rearrangement 'hotspot' loci. However, microdeletion burden not overlapping these regions or within different epilepsy subtypes has not been ascertained. OBJECTIVE To decipher the role of microdeletions outside hotspots loci and risk assessment by epilepsy subtype. METHODS We assessed the burden, frequen...
BACKGROUND Microdeletions of the Y chromosome are one of the most frequent genetic causes of spermatogenic failure in infertile men. But their role in gaining weight is unclear. The present study investigated the possible association of these partial microdeletions and obesity. METHODS In a case-control study, 180 males were selected. The prevalence of microdeletions was assessed using PCR in...
We looked for a possible association between Klinefelter syndrome (KFS) and microdeletions in the Y chromosome in Turkish KFS patients. We examined the frequency of KFS in male patients with proven non-obstructive azoospermia and the types of Y chromosome microdeletions in these KFS patients. Fifty azoospermic patients and 50 fertile men were included in this study. KFS was found in 14 azoosper...
Microdeletions in Yq are associated with defects in spermatogenesis, while those in the AZF region are considered critical for germ cell development. We examined microdeletions in the Y chromosomes of patients attended at the Laboratory of Human Reproduction of the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Goiás as part of a screening of patients who plan to undergo assisted reproduction. ...
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...
Background: To investigate the frequencies of AZF microdeletions and chromosomal abnormalities in infertile men from Northeastern China. Moreover, to compare the prevalence of these abnormalities with other countries and regions in the world. Materials and Methods: 305 infertile men were enrolled. A complete semen analysis and reproductive hormones were measured according to standard methods. M...
