Azoospermia factor (AZF) in Yq11: towards a molecular understanding of its function for human male fertility and spermatogenesis.

Reproductive biomedicine online - 1 Jan 2005

Vogt Peter H

Abstract excerpt

The Y chromosomal azoospermia factor (AZF) is essential for human spermatogenesis. It has been mapped by molecular deletion analyses to three subintervals in Yq11, AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc, containing a number of genes of which at least some control, post-transcriptionally, the RNA metabolism of othe...
