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 inferti...
