Abstract excerpt
We analyzed DNA from a patient with azoospermia whose Y chromosome was cytogenetically normal. A total of 16 loci on the Y chromosome long arm were examined: 15 loci between DYS7E and DYZ1, and the Y chromosome RNA recognition motif (YRRM1) locus, a candidate gene for the azoospermic factor AZF....
