Genetics of idiopathic male infertility: Y chromosomal azoospermia factors (AZFa, AZFb, AZFc).

Bailliere's clinical obstetrics and gynaecology - 1 Dec 1997

Vogt P H

Abstract excerpt

Y chromosomal spermatogenesis loci in Yq11 are disrupted with a frequency of 5-20% in men suffering from idiopathic infertility (azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia). They were designated azoospermia factors (AZFa, AZFb, AZFc). An efficient schedule for their molecular diagnosis in each infertility clinic is presented. In addition, I will include our current knowledge about their biological function during...
