AZFb microdeletions and oligozoospermia--which mechanisms?

Fertility and sterility - 1 Apr 2012

Soares Ana Rita, Costa Paula, Silva Joaquina, Sousa Mário, Barros Alberto, Fernandes Susana

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the deletion patterns and its breakpoints in oligozoospermic patients presenting AZFb and AZFc microdeletions and to understand the recombination mechanisms underlying these microdeletions. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Genetics Department of Faculty of Medicine of Porto, Porto, Portugal. PATIENT(S): Two men with severe oligozoospermia and two men with nonobstructive azoospermia...
