Microdeletions of a Y-specific marker, Yfm1, and implications for a role in spermatogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

We have detected deletions of a Y-specific microsatellite marker, Yfm1, located on the Y chromosome (Yq) within interval 6 and near the DAZ (deleted in azoospermia) genes, in 9/89 oligospermic and 17/68 azoospermic Japanese men. No Yfm1 deletions were detected in the 150 normal fertile males examined as controls. Yfm1 deletions in the oligo- and azoospermic males were associated with other deletions that removed...
