Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Do copy-number variations (CNVs) in the azoospermia factor (AZF) regions and monogenic mutations play a major role in the development of isolated (non-syndromic) non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) in Japanese men with a normal 46, XY karyotype? SUMMARY ANSWER: Deleterious CNVs in the AZF regions and damaging sequence variants in eight genes likely constitute at least 8% and approximately 8% of the...
