Chromosomal studies in infertile men with oligozoospermia & non-obstructive azoospermia.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Chromosomal anomalies have been postulated to be as one of the principal genetic factors in male infertility. Cytogenetic evaluation of men with severely compromised semen parameters reveals an increased incidence of chromosomal aberrations when compared with the normal population. The objective of this study was to determine the chromosomal constitution and sperm charact...
متن کاملY Chromosome Microdeletions in Infertile Men with Non-obstructive Azoospermia and Severe Oligozoospermia
BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to investigate the frequencies and types of Y chromosome microdeletions in infertile men and to analyze the relationship between the levels of reproductive hormones and Y microdeletions. METHODS A total of 1,226 infertile men were screened for Y chromosome microdeletions using multiplex PCR assay. Karyotype analysis was performed on peripheral blood lym...
متن کاملCystic fibrosis mutation screening in CBAVD patients and men with obstructive azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia.
Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) found in otherwise healthy infertile males, is associated with a high incidence of mutated cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) alleles, and is considered a genital form of cystic fibrosis (CF). The CF gene may also be involved in the aetiology of male infertility in cases other than CBAVD. The present study was unde...
متن کاملMale Infertility: Screening of Azoospermia Factor (azf) Microdeletion in Idiopathic Infertile Men
Genetic factors cause about 15% of male infertility and microdeletions of Y chromosome is one of the genetic causes in idiopathic infertile men. Azoospermia factors (AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc) on Yq long arm are most important for spermatogenesis. For analysis of microdeletions in the AZF regions by sequence-tagged-site (STS) PCR is important screening method for infertility. An attempt has been mad...
متن کاملScreening of two closed mutations in CFTR gene of Iranian infertile men with non-obstructive azoospermia
Background The genetic association between cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations and male infertility due to congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens (CBAVD) is well established. Mutant CFTR, however may also be involved in the etiology of male infertility in non-CBAVD cases. The present study was conducted to estimate the frequency of ΔI507 and ΔF508 CFT...
