Loss of the AZFc region due to a human Y-chromosome microdeletion in infertile male patients.
Infertility is a major reproductive health threat; the frequency of male infertility due to Y-chromosome microdeletions is 13-18% in the human population; these microdeletions involve recurrent loss of three non-overlapping regions designated as AZFa, AZFb and AZFc, associated with spermatogenic failure. Several contradictory reports have been published regarding deletion frequency based on seq...
متن کاملMolecular Study of Partial Deletions of AZFc Region of the Y Chromosome in Infertile Men
Background & Aims: The most significant cause of infertility in men is the genetic deletion in the azoospermia factor (AZF) region that is caused by the process of intra- and inter-chromosomal homologous recombination in amplicons. Homologous recombination could also result in partial deletions in AZF region. The aim of this research was to determine the association between the partial AZFc del...
متن کاملClinical characterization of 42 oligospermic or azoospermic men with microdeletion of the AZFc region of the Y chromosome, and of 18 children conceived via ICSI.
BACKGROUND Severe spermatogenic compromise may be the result of a Y-chromosomal deletion of the AZFc region. Prior studies are limited to relatively small numbers of AZFc-deleted men. In this study, we have fully characterized 42 infertile men with a Y chromosome microdeletion strictly confined to the AZFc region, and we report on 18 children conceived through the use of ICSI. METHODS A total...
متن کاملY-chromosome microdeletions in nonobstructive azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia
The aim of the present work was to present the outcomes of the patients with Y-chromosome microdeletions treated by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), either using fresh (TESE) or frozen-thawed (TESE-C) testicular sperm and ejaculated sperm (EJAC). The originality of this work resides in the comparisons between the different types of Y-microdeletions (AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc) and treatments,...
متن کاملI-6: Azoospermia Factor in Male Infertility
Background The human Y chromosome is essential for human sex determination and male germ cell development and maintenance. In 1996, Vogt et al. identified three recurrently deleted regions in Yq11 termed the azoospermia factor (AZF). The AZF region is subdivided into three non-overlapping sub-regions called AZFa, AZFb and AZFc and microdeletion in these regions is the most important etiology of...
