Recurrent X chromosome-linked deletions: discovery of new genetic factors in male infertility

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The role of X-linked genes and copy-number variations (CNVs) in male infertility remains poorly explored. Our previous array-CGH analyses showed three recurrent deletions in Xq exclusively (CNV67) and prevalently (CNV64, CNV69) found in patients. Molecular and clinical characterisation of these CNVs was performed in this study. METHODS: 627 idiopathic infertile patients and 628 controls were tested...
