Abstract excerpt
Microdeletions in the AZFc region of the Y chromosome are found in oligo- and azoospermic men. These mutations were genetically lethal before the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) era but they can nowadays be transmitted to next generations via ICSI. We have tried to answer the question, 'Does ICSI lead to a significant rise in the frequency of these microdeletions in future generations?', by developing a...
