Abstract excerpt
Human Y chromosomes frequently acquire structural and numerical alterations. Known alterations include germline copy-number variations (CNVs) in the azoospermia factor (AZF) region and somatic mosaic loss of the Y chromosome (mLOY). Here, we explored Y chromosomal variations in 160 Japanese men aged 75-90 years. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) identified ten types of AZF-linked CNVs in 77...
