Rapid screening of the Y chromosome in idiopathic sterile men, diagnostic for deletions in AZF, a genetic Y factor expressed during spermatogenesis
24 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
A rapid molecular screening programme has been established for the long arm of the human Y chromosome in Yq11 in order to quickly detect small interstitial deletions in this chromosome region. They have been observed in idiopathic sterile males with azoospermia and a severe oligozoospermia and are therefore indicative for deletion of AZF gene sequences. AZF (i.e. azoospermia factor) is a genetic factor located in...
