Clinical analysis of patients with azoospermia factor deletions by microdissection testicular sperm extraction

5 Mar 2004

Abstract excerpt

Microdeletions of the azoospermia factor (AZF) locus on the Y chromosome have been implicated as a major genetic component of idiopathic male infertility, and the incidence of AZF deletions has been reported to be 15-20% in men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). Numerous studies have described AZF deletion rates in patients with azoospermia; however, a clinical comparison of azoospermic patients with AZF...
