Description

Y-chromosome microdeletions are the second most common genetic cause of male infertility. Most deletions that lead to azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia occur in the AZF (Azoospermia Factor) regions on the Y chromosome, which contain genes essential for spermatogenesis. As a result, genetic testing for AZF deletions has become a routine part of the diagnostic evaluation for men with azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia. This test detects deletions or duplications in the AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc regions of the Y chromosome, which are associated with spermatogenic failure in infertile men.
