The human DAZ genes, a putative male infertility factor on the Y chromosome, are highly polymorphic in the DAZ repeat regions.

Mammalian genome : official journal of the International Mammalian Genome Society - 1 Oct 1997

Yen P H, Chai N N, Salido E C

Abstract excerpt

The DAZ genes on the human Y Chromosome (Chr) are strong candidates for the azoospermia factor AZF. They are frequently deleted in azoospermic or severely oligospermic males and are expressed exclusively in germ cells. In addition, the DAZ genes share a high degree of similarity with a Drosophila male infertility gene, boule. The predicted DAZ proteins contain an RNA recognition motif (RRM), and multiple copies...
