Microdeletions in Yq11 overlapping three distinct 'azoospermia factors' (AZFa-c) represent the aetiological factor of 10-15% of idiopathic azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia, with higher prevalence in more severe testiculopathies, such as Sertoli cell-only syndrome. Using a PCR-based screening, we analysed Yq microdeletions in 180 infertile patients affected by idiopathic Sertoli cell-only ...
BACKGROUND Chromosome 17p13.3 contains extensive repetitive sequences and is a recognised region of genomic instability. Haploinsufficiency of PAFAH1B1 (encoding LIS1) causes either isolated lissencephaly sequence or Miller-Dieker syndrome, depending on the size of the deletion. More recently, both microdeletions and microduplications mapping to the Miller-Dieker syndrome telomeric critical reg...
BACKGROUND Some genes identified in the AZF locus are expressed only in germinal cells; others are ubiquitous. AZF microdeletions seem to occur at the earliest stages of ontogenetic development, and one might therefore assume that Sertoli cells preserve some immature characteristics and that their immunophenotype may be modified by the existence of a molecular defect. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tw...
We examined the prevalence of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) in 32 consecutive patients with premature ovarian failure with and without chromosomal abnormalities. Blood samples were taken for karyotype determination as well as detection of autoantibodies, X-terminal microdeletions and spontaneous follicular growth. The correlation between ANA positivity and the age at onset of amenorrhoea, as we...
Testicular germ cell cancer is aetiologically linked to genital malformations and male infertility and is most probably caused by a disruption of embryonic programming and gonadal development during fetal life. In some cases, germ cell neoplasia is associated with a relative reduction of Y chromosomal material (e.g. 45,X/46,XY) or other abnormalities of the Y chromosome. The euchromatic long ar...
Autism is a childhood neurodevelopmental disorder with a strong genetic component, yet the identification of autism susceptibility loci remains elusive. We investigated 180 autism probands and 372 control subjects by array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) using a 19K whole-genome tiling path bacterial artificial chromosome microarray to identify submicroscopic chromosomal rearrangements...
background: while multiple factors can contribute to male infertility, genetic factors, such as chromosomal disorders or y-chromosome microdeletion, are responsible for about 10% of male infertility. considering the role of y-chromosome microdeletions in men with oligozoospermia who volunteer for in vitro fertilization (ivf), the prevalence of such microdeletions in each particular community ne...
BACKGROUND Patients with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) and normal karyotypes have an increased sperm aneuploidy rate. This may be due to an altered intratesticular environment that affects the chromosomal segregation mechanism(s). Alternatively, it may be due to a generalized meiotic and mitotic abnormality. In this case, patients with abnormal spermatogenesis should also have an increased...
Microdeletions of the Y chromosome are the second most frequent genetic cause of spermatogenetic failure in infertile men after the Klinefelter syndrome. The molecular diagnosis of Y-chromosomal microdeletions is routinely performed in the workup of male infertility in men with azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia. Since 1999, the European Academy of Andrology (EAA) and the European Molecular ...
Missense/nonsense mutations and microdeletions/microinsertions (<21 bp) represent ∼ 76% of all mutations causing human inherited disease, and their occurrence has been associated with sequence motifs (direct, inverted, and mirror repeats; G-quartets) capable of adopting non-B DNA structures. We found that a significant proportion (∼ 21%) of both microdeletions and microinsertions occur within d...
