Reproductive outcomes and Y chromosome instability in radiation‐exposed male workers in cardiac catheterization laboratory

Abstract excerpt

Occupational radiation exposure may impact the reproductive outcome of male workers in the cardiac catheterization laboratory (cath Lab) who receive a dose of ~1–10 mSv/year. An increased copy number variation (CNV) in azoospermia factor region c (AZFc) of the Y chromosome is a marker of spermatogenic failure, previously associated with radiation exposure. This study sought to investigate the association between...
